We Move Forward on Our Knees!

One of the core values for our team is to be people of prayer. We recognize that we are dependent on God. We depend on the Lord and His grace to see fruit in our lives and ministry (John 15:5). It’s equally true that we need a team of people committed to prayer standing with us.
The church marches forward on her knees.

Prayer is of transcendent importance. Prayer is the mightiest agent to advance God’s work. Praying hearts and hands only can do God’s work. Prayer succeeds when all else fails.  — E.M. Bounds

Join us in prayer for the following requests:

1. 

   
   This Sunday, April 29^th Cuco Moya will make an announcement to the Spanish-speaking congregation at Harbor Mid-City about the plans to launch of a new Spanish church in the next year.
   • This is a big step for the church. The mother church is still growing itself, so although it’s exciting on the one hand, there are also some huge challenges in getting this work off the ground.
   • Pray that those in the congregation understand, and get behind the new work.
   • Pray for wisdom for the leadership of the mother church as well as the new outreach.
   • This is a very ambitious advance, so we definitely need God to be at the center of it.
2. Continue to pray for the sale of our house.
   • We are having an open house this weekend.
   • We trust the Lord for His timing with our move.
   • Pray for our family in this move. We are excited, but there are some big changes ahead for all of us.
3. Pray for our college interns that will be working with us over the next few months.
   • Zach Lutz will be with us from May 23 – August 18.
   • Emily Gryder will be working with us from July 7 – November 30.
   • David Diaso Jr. will also be working with us; his dates are partly dependent on our move.
   • We are praying that our internship ministry will grow, and that it gets off to a great start.
4. We are getting very close to being fully funded. Pray that the Lord will provide and direct us to the individuals and churches that He is calling to join our team. You can give to our work here…
5. I am recruiting new people to join our BEAMM ministry team. Pray with us that the Lord draws godly and gifted people to join us.
6. God’s healing touch:
   • Ray Call has kidney stones and Colitis.
   • Mario & Silva’s baby boy, Daniel has some health concerns they are having tested.
   • David Diaso Jr. has a torn meniscus.

7. 

   
   Family needs:
   • Hannah is graduating from high school on May 12^th.
   • David and Jonathan are in finals this week.
   • David will be driving back to Colorado from San Diego in about a week.
8. I will be in San Diego for our work from May 2 – 8, and then from the 19^th – 25^th.
9. I will be in El Paso and Juarez from May 14 – 17 for BEAMM leadership meetings.
10. It is an exciting time. It’s a busy time. We need wisdom, direction, and strength from the Lord.

In His Grip, Dave
