Prayer Letter - May 11, 2006

Dear Faith Partners,

Thanks again for being willing to lift us up before the Lord as often as you can. We sure feel the prayers and we are seeing things come together as God moves our hearts and the hearts of the unreached people in the metro cities of America. we are praying for God to send us workers and He is doing just that. (Workers = those who pray and give, those who come and serve).

Michelle and I just returned from Bedford, Indiana where we began the process of sharing the vision for our work with our wonderful friends there. I said began the process because we have so many friends it will take several more visits to reconnect with them. We met with a great group of friends, we shared in large and smaller settings. We were invited to dinner on several occasions with Harry & Avis Ramsey, Joanne Adams, and Jean Medley where we ate to our full of wonderful southern, Indiana cooking and baking. I just finished my last piece of German chocolate cake baked by Carol Lewis. I think I must have gained about 10 pounds on that weekend.

We went to check out of the hotel and our entire bill (a large bill for the whole weekend) including the large supper meeting we held for our friends was paid in full by an anonymous friend (s). Who would have thought that God would speak to someone or some people who heard God speak and then obeyed and a very large bill was paid in full. Praise God for the one or ones who gave us this special blessing. I am blessed to tears. Thank you God and Anonymous friend(s).

Let me take this moment to welcome new Faith Prayer and Financial Partners from the Bedford, Indiana area. As all of you from many states pray, please pray God's blessing over our new partners in ministry. Please pray with me for God's protection and blessing upon each one.

Please pray that God will give us more Faith Prayer and Financial Partners. While we need large financial gifts -we strongly value the smaller gifts given each and every month with sacrifice and love. It takes the large and small gifts to help us raise the remaining half of our needed support. Please pray for God to send lost people into our lives so that we can share Jesus and continue the discipleship process. We will lead people to Jesus and then disciple them to lead others to Jesus and teach them to lead and disciple others. Our new disciples will not just sit in a church service they will live in service everyday to the King.

One final praise to God. We just got word that a Disciple making couple has joined our Kansas City Discipleship network. This couple has a small group filled with unsaved people. People ask Pastor Jim where he pastors and he tells them He doesn't pastor a Church but then invites them to his home where they study God's Word together. People are accepting their offer. This group has grown so large they now have to start another group in another part of town. People are finding Jesus and being Discipled to make other Disciples.

God is using you through this ministry and your prayers and gifts are making a difference. We have only begun to see the magnitude of life transformation that will occur in the days ahead.

We are honored to be Your Missionaries to the large Metro regions of St. Louis and Kansas City.

Thanking God For Your Partnership,

BOB
