Matt's prayer e-mail update

Greetings to our precious family in Christ. I apologize as it's been so long since we've last sent an update.

Beka and I continue to lead a life after high school discipleship team for juniors and seniors. There is at least one unsaved member in our group, and all of the students plan on attending a secular university when they graduate. Please join us in prayer that we can be the examples and give His wise advice, not our own.

We continue to learn names of God in our elementary and high school chapels. This week we learned that God sees, and He sees our hearts. I pray that the teaching will take root.

A group of teachers and high school students will go to the Philippines this coming April for a missions trip. The decision to go there came after much prayer and discussion. God will bless, and we thank Him as He provides for this trip.

Also after prayer and discussion, Beka, myself and another teacher have decided to go to Priority One India to experience and report back on the ministry opportunities there. This would be at the same time as the Philippines trip.

Beka and I have felt God's pull toward India for some time now, and He seems to be providing an opportunity to go. Our prayer is that we continue to seek His will and provision.

We cannot get an exact estimate on plane tickets from travel agencies this early, but the closest estimate so far was near $1000 for one ticket. We are currently praying for the amount of at least one ticket. As we say this, we know and trust God can provide above and beyond our needs.

Please join us in prayer and prayerfully consider if God wants you to help in this short-term ministry. If He has laid it on your heart to give, please send us an email and let us know.

In closing, thank you for your prayers, encouragement and support. God bless as you continue to serve Him.
