“Who does great
things, [beyond understanding,] unfathomable, yes, marvelous
and wondrous things without number.”
Job 9:10 Amplified
Dear Saints,
we pray you are giving God a chance
to show you the marvelous things that Job spoke about. He wants to do wondrous
things in your heart and through you for others. Here are some of the marvelous
things He has been doing with us recently…
Atlanta House Church Our church is seeing God do wondrous things! Growing in faith comes from
trusting God with the tests, trails, and responsibilities. Grace & Ward have
been tested by fostering twin boys, who are now 3 months old. 😊 Danelle has been at their house several days
a week helping Grace get some rest. The boys are beginning to sleep longer. Yeah!
Recently, Grace & Ward’s AC died, adding to their challenges. It has been
in the 90’s for weeks with no end in sight! They are thankful the new unit
being installed this week. Praise God! Our church is also reading The Meaning
of Marriage, by Timothy Keller. We highly recommend it!!!
St. Petersburg Church Danelle and I returned to St.
Petersburg August 16 -18 for a workshop on living as the New Testament Church. (photo below) It was an excellent time together reading in Corinthians and discussing how to
apply it. A group of them have decided to meet as a house church, love one
another, and reach out to their community with the gospel. They are excited,
united, learning, growing, and enjoying the journey! Danelle and I stay in
touch with Jon and Pam Trunk with phone calls and Skype. Please pray with us
for them to keep trusting God.
Virginia Church Plant Our daughter, Stephanie, and her
husband, David, moved to Virginia Beach a month ago with their 4 children. They
have already met several people interested in fellowship. One couple has come
the past 3 weeks! They want to start a house church there.
Prayer & Praise
1. Atlanta House Church Pray for our marriages to grow in Christ and be an aroma of
Him to our communities. Pray for God’s strength for Grace and Ward. Ask God
to bring people to Christ.
2. St. Petersburg Church Danelle and I need discernment and
wisdom to build into this church. Pray for them to expect God to do “marvelous
and wondrous things” in & through them.
3. Virginia Church Plant Pray for David and Stephanie to love people to Jesus. Pray for this new couple to unite with them
to reach people and to grow in Christ together as His church.
4. Young Couples Danelle and I have been counseling 3 young
couples who are all getting married this fall. Please pray we would help
prepare them for marriage. Pray for them to all find close fellowship in the
new places they will be living and to have Christ-centered marriages.
Thank you for your support and prayers,
Steve &
Danelle
