Momentum

 Last month I shared my journey regarding our finances. This month, I praise God for the way He has faithfully provided for me as I begin the support raising process once again. It has been an amazing month of progress and building momentum. I am so thankful to Rebecca Capistrant for the work that she has done, because she is allowing Jesus to live through her for my benefit and the results are to the praise of His glory. I have seen many positive responses from people who are now committed to supporting me in the ministry, and I have to say that my heart is greatly encouraged in this challenging process. There is still a long way to go, but I believe that God has been doing a great work of freeing my heart that will allow me to continue with greater confidence in my calling and clarity about the direction to go. Please continue to pray for me as I seek His guidance and encouragement each step of the way. If He leads you to give, you may donate online.

Here are a few specific prayer requests for upcoming ministry opportunities:

Please pray for me as I:

Walk daily with individuals on a journey of faith though discipleship: that they would be open to experiencing everything that Jesus has to share with them and that I would sensitively listen both to Him and to their needs.

Help to develop and teach a segment of Sunday School series on the topic of Falling: Letting go of our Illusions of Control with Tim Galloway.

Participate in a wedding ceremony for a young couple that I have been counseling. Pray for their union, for a continuing deepening of trust and intimacy as they enter into marriage.

Counsel couples and individuals who are struggling in their marriages. Pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to them so that they can rest in Him for every aspect of their relationships.

Lead a discussion/lecture on Concept of God to a group of advanced training students this fall.

Lead a group through the 5-day Grace Life Workshop designed to help participants learn to listen to each other’s stories and share Christ’s Life with one another.

Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all of you who support me in this ministry. I remember you often in my prayers, because of the huge part that you play in enabling me to serve people and lead them to Jesus. I am truly loved and encouraged by you. May you be encouraged by Him to know how much He delights in you.

Yours in Christ,

Charles
