Jurgen Moltmann - "Faith, wherever it develops into hope, causes not rest but unrest...it does not calm the unquiet heart, but is itself this unquiet heart in man. Those who hope in Christ can no longer put up with reality as it is, but begin to suffer under it, to contradict it. Peace with God means conflict with the world." - from his book Theology of Hope

South African Prayer Calendar

In January of this year, God challenged my wife, Gelaina, and I to go on a family mission trip.  We attempted to be obedient in March by signing up to go on a family mission trip to Mexico, but the trip was cancelled due to dangerous circumstances.  God reminded us of our commitment in the Spring, so we began searching for different opportunities to serve.  Fast forward to the end of July, and I felt God laying on my heart to go see a dear friend of mine in Pietermaritzberg, South Africa.  We began praying about who should go, and God reminded us of our promise at the beginning of the year.  When we heard God's voice that Sunday, we came home from church and booked our flights.  So, tomorrow morning we pack up our family (all 5 of us!) and begin our journey to South Africa.

More than anything else, we would love for you to partner with us in prayer.  Below you will find a prayer calendar and prayer guide for our trip, our family, and our partners.  Please join us in praying for those we will be ministering too!!  Thank you in advance...and God bless you and your family.
