Well last week was another wonderful time serving our Lord. This week as we have met some more young couples; and they keep asking questions about this new work I would ask that you pray for this age group and more specifically this genre. What we have seen as our focus group that God keeps putting into our path is the 20-30 single and married couples. These people are so hungry for the truth and authentic Christianity. Some have some church background; however, they are not in church at this time. So with that said, please pray for more ways to reach this people group. Furthermore, we are still in desperate need of people that play music. We do have one couple that is moving away due to receiving a new job in Kansas City, and he was a very key part of our church plant and he plays guitar as well. However, God has more people in mind for us; we just need to find them.
Now we have found a new area that has a lot of opportunities to share the Gospel and find people that need to hear the message of hope. Where you ask, I am so glad you did. It is on the ski slope, that’s right the ski slopes. I have now learned how to downhill ski and combining that with cross country skiing will provide more chances to engage our culture. We have been going to the ski slopes during different times of the week trying to find more people and seeking how to engage them. What we have found is, “if you are not a skier or has a family member that skis” they will not talk to you. I tried just going there and seeing who I could talk to and I got a few results not many though, however, when I was a skier the opportunities were endless. We have a resort that allows us to ski at a very reduced rate on Sunday afternoons, so if they are coming here to ski and relax and shred the slopes why can we not be there to share Jesus Christ. So please pray for this wonderful new field of opportunity.
Lastly, please pray for a person of peace. This is a person that is involved in the community and knows who and where people are both physically and spiritually. Next, please pray for more men in our churches, we really need more men. Our Barbarian men will be meeting again on Monday nights at 6:30pm, we would like to have 10-15 men that we can invest in.
