Our church plant is in a small town and is only one and one-half years old. We are getting people who have been hurt in churches that are outside the SBC. Pray God will bring healing through their walk with Him and give me wisdom to best minister to them. We are also praying for younger families. This year, we have a great group of ladies who volunteer each Monday as we serve meals to the kids in our city. Pray our volunteers will recognize opportunities to share about Jesus with them and see life change. Pray for my wife, Christian. She works so hard and then comes home to serve alongside me. Pray she gets the rest she needs, and pray I can lead my family well. Thank you for your time and prayers.

At this very special and unique time in our lives, we need to make some significant decisions. After our time at United City Church in Humble, Texas, we have been called to move to Brooklyn, N.Y., which is a drastic change for us as a family. Therefore, we need your prayer support to confirm that planting a church in New York is right for us and according with God’s will. We also need prayer that our green card will arrive soon. We have had a religious visa approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services since September 2022, but since that time, the permanent residency process for religious individuals has been affected.
