As many of you probably have seen on the news, the North Texas area was hit with some major weather 3 weeks ago. Jordan and I spent most of the first month of Feburary inside our house...we were snowed in for 4 days! Not that there was a lot of snow (only 2-4inches or so) but the roads were super icy, we attempted to go out on the roads a few times, and well got stuck...thanks to papa he pulled us out with his 4-wheel drive truck. Here are some photos below of our Artic adventures!
Sara's folks came and visit for 4 days the second week of Feburary. It was very fun, and refreshing to have them come stay with us. Amazingly the weather turned from 10 degrees to 75 degrees! all within a week, so when they came, we spent a lot of time at the lake, and showing them around Decatur.
This past Wednesday, Jordan shared out of Acts chapter 2, he shared about the Holy Spirit and how important it is to us as Christians. The Lord had put it on our hearts to challenge the kids to write letters to the Lord in response to the message. A lot of them took the challenge and wrote a letter to the Lord. It was really sweet to see this response. Please continue to pray for the youth here, that God's Spirit would be poured out in their hearts and life, also that they would live a life demonstrating God's grace.
Also, we started PS 119 this past Tuesday! The vision of PS 119 is to disciple the youth in the word. We will taking them through the whole bible challenging them and teaching them the basics about devotion and going deeper in the Lord. Please pray for those attending this as it is at 630 a.m. but also that they grow in their love and knowledge of the Lord, and that relationship with God becomes reality to them and that it can be deep.
This Sunday Jordan is sharing the vision of the cafe-the cafe to reach out not only to the youth of Central, but also the community and surrounding churches-to the entire church. Not only the cafe, but also for the vision for the youth. Please be praying for us this week, and Jordan especially as he prepares to share this long awaited desire of his to the congregation. We Need prayer warriors for this! For the cafe, and for the people/youth of wise county. Monty will also be sharing the vision of small groups for the church, please keep this in prayer as well.
I wanted to leave you with this verse that the Lord had put on my heart:
Psalm 119:38 "Establish your word to Your servant As that which produces reverence for you"
prayer requests:
-The cafe!! Finances, favor with the congregation, direction and steps involving this major construction project
-The youth...that God would continue to move and challenge the hearts of the youth here in Wise county, including young adults (18-29yrs.) and for PS 119
-Small group ministry kicking off this Sunday....
We love you all very much!
Jordan and Sara
Jordan and Sara....it sure seems like the Lord is wanting to do amazing works through "cafes" around the world....like literally! Know that we will be praying into the vision the Lord has given you all and trusting that He will show His favor through the sharing with your Body on Sunday. I honestly believe that the Lord has placed a very special call and anointing on young believers like yourselves to make deep in-road into the hearts of believers and the lost alike. God wants to transform lives through the Gospel of Jesus and through His Word.....keep at the things He has called you to and know that He will bring the favor and the fruit!!!
