Hi prayer partners,Thanks for your prayers for our Mardi Gras trip. Please pray for the men who went and their families as they have returned home.
Now is the time to do the follow-up on decisions that were made. Pray for Abby as she follows up on these. Pray for the Lord to work in the lives of those who made decisions for the Lord. Pray the follow-up material will be a help and the people will get in a good church and live changed lives for the Lord.
The only time we talk about support for the ministry is at Mardi Gras. We depend on these pledges to keep the ministry going during the year. Pray the Lord will bless those who have committed to support the ministry. If what happens in the Mardi Gras experience is meaningful to the men, then we ask for their help in supporting the ministry. I was so encouraged and blessed to see how many of the men with us have gone on mission trips to other countries. One third of our men were "first timers. So these rookies got to be around men who have moved on out in the Great Commission "Adventure" for the Lord. One man told me that after being with the ministry that he has been on missions to China.
Pray for us as we go through the individual evaluations. I am going through them now and later our Advisory Board will go through them at our next Board meeting. This gives us a chance to see what the Lord did through the men and what needs to change for next year.
Our evaluation forms have each man report if he did the basic things like passing tracts, did the clown skit, gave his testimony, shared the Four Spiritual Laws and carried the cross. Each man is evaluated to see where he is making progress and encourage him to move along in his pilgrimage as the Lord leads.
I would appreciate your prayers as I go in tomorrow to see a surgeon about my thyroid.
Love ya's
Fred
John 3:30
