Thank you.  Thanks for being so supportive and affirming of my involvement in missions.  Between Good Rain and the annual Builders for Christ trips I am away from Hope and its ministry at least 3 weeks a year on mission.  Not every church is as supportive.  I am thankful you are.  It communicates your heart for God and His mission.   

Today, Thursday, John Scudiere, Jerry D’Agostino, and I depart for Rwanda.  Next week Christina and Peggy Scudiere will head over and join us.  Many of you have indicated your desire to pray for us.  Yeah.  Here are a couple of suggestions on what to pray for.  I’ll keep the list short, but pointed. 

  1.   Pray for physical wellness and safety.  It’s hard to serve when you feel cruddy.
  2. Pray that the Holy Spirit will give us the eyes to see God’s activity in a different culture and the understanding on how to cooperate with it.
  3. Pray that the Pastors and church folks we serve will know that we sincerely treasure them as siblings in the faith.
  4. Pray that we come back different people…that God grows us. 

Blessings,

Neal
