Prayer

The Lord has been working in my heart and stretching my faith in many areas. I am so thankful. I was reading a book tonight and the author mentioned that the greatest gift we could receive as missionaries is prayer. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for those across the country that are praying for me and my family. Only God knows how much of a difference it makes, but the Lord has delivered my family and me from things as we have been on the road, and I know it is because of those praying for us. I am trying to increase my prayer life to pray more for my friends and pastors' families and other missionaries. Thank you for your prayers, and please continue to pray as we get closer to leaving for the mission field (and extending our family:).
