6 Ways to Pray for Us

1. Pray for the sell of our home. I have always envisioned and hoped that we would sell our house by the end of September. That always aroused skepticism in others considering the state of the housing market but I believe that God wants us in Denver and I believe that He has a buyer for our house. All authority has been given to Christ which means that He is not bound by housing trends and economic indicators. I yield to His timing and His plan but pray every day that today is the day.
2. Pray that Apartment Life will be accepted by new apartment complexes in Denver. We would like to begin our ministry in Denver with Apartment Life. This organization places Cares Teams in apartment complexes with the purpose of developing community and ministering to the tenants. They have recently met with three companies that expressed a high interest in this amenity. Pray that these new mission fields will be opened in the Denver area.
3. Pray that an opening in Apartment Life will coincide with the selling of our home. Moving to Denver is not contingent on an opening in this ministry but it would be a great financial help and an opportunity for God to place us where He wants us. Otherwise, we have pretty much settled on an apartment complex in Lone Tree.
4. Pray for a job to provide income for our family. We have some friends that will continue to support us as we move to Denver but it will not be enough to sustain us. If the Apartment Life gig works out, I will probably consider school bus driving. An apartment is provide through Apartment Life (or at least at minimal cost) and I believe we could manage under those circumstances. If Apartment Life does not open immediately then I would need a more full time job.
5. Pray that Pattie and Rayanne will adjust to Denver. It's not easy making such a big move. My wife and daughter are very excited about the move and are 100% behind it but it does mean leaving people they love to go to a place where we know only a couple of people. Pray that we will find a church to partner with until our launch date. Getting Rayanne in a youth group and being around other believers will be very helpful.
6. Pray for Denver. Pray that God will prepare the hearts of people to readily accept the Gospel and will partner with us in reaching Denver. I am thankful that Bob and Monica are going with us as our Worship leaders but we will need others to join our team - musicians, children's ministry, sound and video techs, creative set designers, artists, computer expert, nursery, etc.

Your prayers mean a lot to us. Prayer changes things. Prayers empower, encourage, lift, and set us free. Prayer reminds us that we can't do this alone. We need God and you. We will fail by ourselves. Prayer is essential.
