Weekly Prayer update

Below you'll find our weekly prayer update just sent out to our email prayer partners. Please join us in praying this week. Thank you for praying!

Dear family and friends,
We write to you this week with several prayer requests and praises. Please join us this week as we pray specifically for these things.

Please pray specifically this week as we prepare to purchase a vehicle! Praise God with us for the funds that have been generously given to us and for those that we have been able to save to put towards the purchase of this vehicle. Please pray for a smooth transfer of funds from our US bank to the owner's Costa Rican bank, affordable legal fees and a trustworthy lawyer, and that the vehicle run well and be dependable for our family.

Please pray for the new discipleship group starting at Calvary Chapel this Thursday, January 14th. Praise God with us for this group as well as the First Baptist group and the Filadelphia group. Praise God with us for the ministry of discipleship.

Please pray for Brooke and the kids as they restart homeschool this week. Pray for positive attitudes for both mom and children, a hunger to learn and a desire to work hard, and for the days to be blessed. Pray also for the possibility Brooke has of working with two other homeschooling moms and sharing the teaching of the arts as well as science to the combination of five children. Pray for wisdom and God's direction.

Also pray this week as we plan for or first ever mission team in March! Praise God for this long time prayer finally being answered of hosting a mission team! Pray as we discuss details, look for lodging and plan meals, and pray about the schedule for the team! Join us in praising God for His faithfulness and asking for His blessing on the planning, affordable airfare, the funds needed for those committed to coming, and especially for His purpose for this specific group of servants for this specific time in Villareal.

Pray for good health for our family. The dry season here has brought a period of heavy winds which help to cool things off but dramatically increase the dirt, dust and debris flying around and into our home. This has affected each of us in different ways, but mainly with bloody noses, allergy attacks and headaches. Please continue to pray against any asthma related issues in Isabelle.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer, faithful warriors!

In Christ,
Matt and Brooke :)

Serving Christ 'til He comes back,
Brooke :)
