Prayers over us.

Brett left for Togo on Friday, Oct. 1st and will return Sat. Oct. 9th. He will be working alongside Christian, the Vapor missionary building the Togo Vapor Center. 

Pray for: 

-  the efficiency of their time as they solidify finishing details for the Togo center

-  Connection with the Togo leadership team and with the people exposed to the center. 

-  Protection for Brett against any sickness- When he returns we have 3 weeks remaining on the ground, so we are praying that he can continue in great health to finish out strong here. 

- that Brett can be prepared to fight against the spiritual forces (Ephesians 6) of the heavily influenced Voodoo culture. That the Lord would use him to speak forth His light in such a dark environment. 

In addition, pray for us that we can be 'imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.' Heb. 6: 12- We have offered positions to different guys, but are in the waiting stages now of how the Lord will reveal His purpose. Through different conversations, we have difficult decisions to make on who is best fit for those roles. Continue to pray for us as we solidify our final leadership team.

 Weirsbe states, "the trials of life are the tools God uses to mature us, to build our faith, and to get us to trust the Spirit and not the flesh." 

Pray for us that as we continue to face some trials here that we will allow the Lord's refinement and maturity to guide our decisions- as we trust in the discernment of the Spirit. 

"Only by the grace of God can we have the patient endurance that we need as we go through the furnace- (w.)". Pray that we may embrace the grace of God and spend these final weeks in the patient endurance to finish out strong God's purpose in this time. There are many things left to accomplish, but we serve a mighty God who has already foreseen all things unfolded.
