Special Request for Prayer - Happy Father's Day!

As you celebrate Father's day this weekend, please join with me to ask God to work miraculously among our dads. I am blessed with a wonderful father who loves God and loves his family. I know that that is a huge blessing and I am so thankful. I know many of you however have fathers who don't know the love and transforming power of the Lord. Let's pray together for God to work even this weekend to draw all fathers to Himself working only as He can.

My father has been fighting with several life threatening illnesses over the past year and I am so eager for my family to get to go and see him and the rest of the family. We had planned to try and come in when the entire family planned to gathered in June, but the cost of the airfare was outrageous, $9,000. So we said, unless God works miraculously, we can't even consider it. I want to share with you today that God does work miracles! Without even sharing our needs, God met them through an aunt and uncle who were able to get passes for the whole family with almost a $6,000 savings. Praise God!

If you would please pray with us that God would continue to work out the flight details for us as we will be flying stand-by with the whole family! We are seeking to fly Sunday night from Rio de Janeiro arriving in Atlanta, GA on Monday.

We hope to spend a couple of weeks with my family including one week of vacation with 35 of my immediate family. Please pray for God's presence, protection, and power! We desire to see His gospel transforming every relationship!
