Prayer Requests - 11/9/07

"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" - James 5:16

The next few weeks will be wonderfully full for Karrie and I (which is a good thing). We will have the opportunity to serve in several ways in the near future - and we were hoping that you might take a moment and pray for these times of service. It is our heart that God be exalted and that we could bring glory to His name. He deserves it (and so much more)!

Please pray for us (and those we meet) with regards to these events/dates:

Friday November 9- Saturday November 10
New Wave 2007 Mission Conference in Maryland (sponsored by YWAM)
website: http://www.newwave2007.net/
We will be at the conference representing Africa Inland Mission. This will give us the opportunity to meet and pray with young people who have hearts to serve as missionaries (short or long term) and to answer any questions that they may have about AIM.

Thursday November 15 at noon
Lunchtime Seminar - "On to Africa" - at FGM, Inc., Reston, VA
Every Thursday at FGM (Steve's current employer) an employee or affiliate will host a seminar about particular interests, whether they be educational or entertaining. All employees are invited. Well, on 11/15 Steve will be giving a presentation on our upcoming move to Namibia. Please pray that folks will come. Please pray that God's heart for the orphaned and traumatized children of this world will be heard. Please pray that this will also open opportunities for ministry.

Saturday November 17 at 6pm
Presentation at Family Life Church of the Nazarene, Chantilly, VA
website: http://www.flcotn.com/
We will be ministering at this church, and presenting on what God is doing with us. We have had the opportunity to get close to many in this congregation in recent months, particularly through combined services (between our church and this one) and combined ministry efforts (Worship/Music Teams, Youth Services, etc.). Please pray that the people at this service will hear God's voice much more than they hear ours.

Sunday November 18 at 10:30am
Presentation at NOVA Worship Center, Chantilly, VA
website: http://www.novaupclose.com/
Much of the same could be said about NOVA Worship Center as was said about Family Life. Our church has worked closely with this congregation for years, and we have had several opportunities in recent months to minister side-by-side. Please pray that the people at this service will also hear God's voice much more than they hear ours.

++And we want to also ask that you'd pray for an important upcoming date.++

According to our Outgoing Checklist (list of tasks that need to be complete prior to departure) on December 12th AIM will evaluate our finances to determine if we are on target to have what is required to leave in January. At this point, we still have about 50% of our monthly support target that needs to be pledged in order for that target to be reached. Make no mistake, our hope is in God, and we know without a shadow of doubt that when God wants us to leave the provisions WILL BE THERE. We are ready to go, and ready to see that target reach 100% by December 11th. Please pray that God's will be done, and that we would keep our ears tuned to God's voice as this date approaches. And of course, please also pray that the finances will be there.

As always, we invite you to email us and let us know how we can pray for you. We would be blessed and honored to have the opportunity to stand with you in the same way that you stand with us.
