We are prayerfully asking God’s guidance, favor and direction as we begin a mission in our own backyard called Acts of Kindness. Our mission statement is to empower the Body of Christ in Healdton to come together to reach out to the needy with Acts of Kindness in order to further the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in our community. We believe meeting people’s physical needs will open a door to meeting their spiritual needs. Please pray for us as we launch this backyard mission and pray that it gets rooted and grounded so it can be reciprocated again and again in other needy communities! God’s kingdom come, God’s will be done!

Pray our new contacts (unbelievers) will be open to the gospel and attend our new home Bible studies. Continue to pray for the Saturday Bible study/discipleship at J and E’s home.

Pray many will be connected to a cell group during our Asia and American Pacific event on May 4. Pray that Praise Christian Church Union believers will be missional this year and take every opportunity to establish a good rapport with unbelievers, leading them to Christ.

Pray I can balance my time with ministry works and my personal time with the Lord. Pray for protection against the schemes of the devil from discouragement and any form of temptation. Pray that God would provide a keyboard player, a bass guitarist, a drummer, a worship leader, and guidance in organizing our own praise and worship team.

I would appreciate prayers for my wife, Paige. She has been battling Lyme disease for a while, and it can be very debilitating at times. We’re in an exceptionally busy time with pastoring a growing church and parenting elementary and middle-school-aged children, and I’m sure some of the stresses from that exacerbate Paige’s condition. I would love prayers for wisdom and discernment on how to navigate this time in our lives.

We are launching on May 5th at Calvert County Community Center. This will be our first service, and we are asking for the prayers of all planters, pastors, churches and believers. We know God is about to do a mighty work, and we are asking for your prayers for our strength, wisdom and obedience, to His will and to His Word. Thank you in advance! Be encouraged.
