Dear Partners,
Secure In
China! A Chinese friend of
ours, who was in grad school at Clemson University for a few years, moved back
home last year. Recently, she contacted me requesting a copy of Secure In An
Insecure World in Russian. Yes, Russian! (It’s also in Spanish!) She met Andrey
and wants him to hear the good news of life in Christ in his own language. She
thought my book would help him understand that life is in Jesus, not in a
woman/wife. We prayed for a way to get the book to him and God provided. She got
it a week ago and plans to give it to Andrey soon, if she hasn’t already. Pray
for his salvation and for our friend and her fellow Christians to continue spreading
the good news!
St.
Pete Conference Danelle and I will be leading a conference August
16-18 in St. Petersburg for the church as they seek the Lord and His plan
for them. We will look at what the Word of God says about change, Christ’s
headship of church, what the church is, discipleship, leadership, and being on
mission together. Your prayers will make all the difference in our time!
Atlanta House
Church The summer has been busy for our church members
with vacations, Grace & Ward fostering twins, and speaking engagements. Danelle
and I visited her family in Pittsburgh where we enjoyed meaningful times of sweet
fellowship and ate too much. Then we drove to see our daughter, Stephanie, and
her family in Virginia. Julie, Jasper, and Emilia Dewey came down from NYC to
join us. We all worked hard for several days getting them settled in their new
place. We installed ceiling fans, hung window treatments, repaired items broken
from the move, and even built a chicken coop for David’s aunt! Yes, we did relax
and have fun together at the beach with the 6 grandchildren the last day. 😊 Our church is still adjusting to several precious
single ladies leaving. The good news is that they all seem to be doing well in
the Lord and connecting with Christians in their new cities. Pray for ATC
members to be moved by Christ’s love to build quality friendships and share the
gospel with unbelievers. Thank you!
Prayer & Praise
1. Virginia Ask
God to give David & Stephanie people with hearts for God who are humble
and gather as a house church in Portsmouth. Pray for opportunities to share the
gospel with unbelievers and for the Spirit of God to touch hearts and change
lives!
2. St. Petersburg Church. Danelle
and I are returning August 16-18 to teach the church and discuss God’s
purpose, the church, and how they can follow Christ together. Pray for teachable
hearts and a willingness to change & make disciples in simple, organic
ways.
3. Grace & Ward Pray for
them as they foster the twin boys! They need strength & sleep!
We
appreciate your prayers,
Steve & Danelle
