Prayer for a new season

To those who check this blog in order to pray specifically for us, THANK YOU!

Here are our updated prayer requests for September. Please pray with us about these important things...

1. Family - Brenten leading the family, Lena teaching home-school Tues-Saturday, Sunday serving as a family, Monday is family fun day; Pray Caleb and Lily grow in their faith in Christ. May Samuel sleep, eat and grow well.
2. Fellowships - In Riga, Latvia Sunday mornings - Bible study now our living room. In Jelgava, Latvia starting this Thursday: young Latvians to be rooted in truth. Possible every other Friday: Truth project for youth.
3. Finances - $15,538 is needed to qualify for visas. Praise God much was given and saved this summer but pray $9000 more is given by Sept. 30, 2011. We must apply for visas by October 18 to stay and serve in Latvia for the next year. (if you want to give, please click on www.latviamissions.blogspot.com).
4. Faithfulness - "To whom much is given much is required" May we be faithful stewards to fulfill the mission God has given us (the great commission) with faith, patience, diligence, righteousness, truth & love.
5. Fruitfulness - fruit of the spirit in our lives, fruit from abiding in Christ, fruit from all our labors in Christ, fruit from sowing truth into others' lives, fruit from thanksgiving as that God's word is humbly received and spreads rapidly (2 Thessalonians 3:1).

Thank you for your prayers!
