It's been a couple of weeks since I've had the opportunity to write and all is going well. In our Sunday school class I have started looking at biblical warriors and determining the characteristics that make them successful or not so successful. We have looked at Sampson, Joshua, and Rebecca/Barak. Through this study I feel like I am starting to grow and get in some of those spiritual push-ups I need to get ready for this trip. Also, Mark Long, one of our team members, put together a great prayer calender for the month of March which has really focused and provided a great sense of direction as I pray about our trip. Thanks so much for your prayer and please keep them up.
Please pray for our family, particularly for Beth and I, as we battle to raise the kids in a way that they can impact this world for God's Glory.

I just want you to know that you are not alone in your endeavors to fight the spiritual battle that seems like is on you front door step every day. And when its not there its at the back door or lurking in a closet waiting to pounce. I have three verses I'd like to share with you that helps meget through those times. They're not secret verses, you've heard them many times, but just meditate on them and really let it sink in.
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus... I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me" phillippians 4:6-7,13.
