"Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of
utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in
bonds"
Colosians 4:3
The vision for our ministry is almost endless.
But we serve a God who has
* bottomless pockets,
* endless mercy,
* boundless grace and
* a love to
exercise them all.
For this reason we ask you to petition the
Lord for His help in the following areas. The roll
is too long for everyone's prayer list, so if possible, pick out an
area this month that you think the Lord would have you pray about,
then another area next month.

Protection at events
We recently heard about a shop owner who asked a man to leave
because he was loud and unreasonable. The man returned with a
container of gasoline, which he doused on the shop owner, then lit
it.
Sometimes we engage loud, unreasonable people. In a
day where people almost volunteer to misunderstand situations, the
booth is good place for this to happen. Pray for our safety.

Protection on
the Roads
We drive very many miles per year on highways and streets which are
only divided by a yellow stripe to keep oncoming traffic at high
speeds from getting in our grill. We are asking that they stay
on their side and also, we stay on ours and the deer stay in the
trees. Any kind of break down on the highway can turn
into an ordeal. And after dark it can turn ugly. Pray
that the Lord keep our equipment together, in motion and towards the
event or home.

Health
We know so many who's ministry was cut short because one or the
other spouses was not able to keep up due to less than perfect
health. The older we get the more help we need in this area.
Even with perfect health, stamina can be taxed. Pat and Steve,
both, engage in exercise on a weekly basis, per doctor's guidance, to
stay ...
* healthy,
* operable and
* resilient.
Steve has had to add a prescription to his daily routine.
Pray with us in this
area.

Opportunity to Present the Ministry
Pastors are a vital link in our ability to get before church members
to let them know what can be done at Public Events.
But, Pastors are also very busy and very mobile, so contacting them
and getting them to listen to a short introduction is difficult, but
imperative.
Pray that there can be communication.

Opportunity to
Work Important Public Events
All events are important, but some are more important because of
large numbers of people in very needy areas.
* Sometimes the event Guidance Committee is not agreeable.
* Sometimes, especially with large events, there is no local church
to help.
* Sometimes funds are not available to buy the tracts or pay the
booth rental fees.
* Sometimes scheduling conflicts.
* Sometimes the weather is not agreeable.
Pray that the need be met by the power of God.

Support
*Prayerful *Financial *Encouragement

Numbers
We usually are not concerned about how many did this or how many did
not do that. Numbers do not tell the result. But numbers
do indicate how much is in the account, how fast the truck is moving
and how much the tracts cost.
Pray our numbers meet the expectations that God has for our
ministry.
TOP
Open Hearts
If a person is not open to anything, much less the Gospel, he or
she is not going to receive spiritual input and will not be
saved.
Pray that we can be when and where people are open.
TOP
Workers
The fields are ready for harvest according to the Lord, but He
tells us to pray for
workers.
* Help is needed.
Help in
the form of more missionaries for part time and full time.
Help from
churches at their local events.
Help in just getting the
Gospel out verbally and written.
Even help for the helpers.
TOP
Web Site
Pray that our Web Page can be used to reach more people for
Christ and that church members can be exhorted to action. Pray
the Page be an encourager in many different ways.
* A source of salvaiton.
* A resource to churches for Soul Winning ideas and materials.
* A follow-up for recent converts at Public Events. Much of the
material we give converts has our Web Address.
* A resource for eBooks (paperless books) for Soul Winning, Studies, etc.
* Opportunities to use our "new training video" for Greeting,
Meeting and Seating prospects for a witness.
The potential is huge in many areas.
TOP
Vehicles
Operational transportation is imperative. Pray that our
transportation stay mechanically sound.
*
Truck
* Car
* Trailer
Thinking about selling our diesel pickup to get out from under the
monthly payments and the pain-at-the-pump. Pray with us about
this huge step.
TOP
Soul Winning
Materials
Pray that our tracts and printed helps be useful to the Lord,
improved were necessary and created as needed. Much more can be
done if we are sensitive to God's leading.
TOP
New Method
We are working on a new method of Gospel presentation at a different
type of event. This is really far out at first glance, but
reasonable in practice. We cannot say much at this time, but
pray for much money, technical help and wisdom in this idea.
We feel if it can be made functional it can substantially add to our
ministry effectiveness.
