PRAYER REQUESTS

One thing that echoes in our hearts and minds is that prayer is the work of this missionary journey; we can do nothing apart from Jesus! We would love for you to join us each week in praying over the work of ministry, our family, and life in Manchester.

Monday: Revival in Manchester- would you be bold with us and other believers in the city to ask for 1 million people to follow Christ in Manchester?

Tuesday: Pray for boldness and spiritual conversations where we can share the gospel! Pray for connections and in roads to relationships in our community. Pray for creativity in reaching the every and all in our city.

Wednesday: Pray for lightheartedness and joy together as a family. Pray for salvation for Riley and Eleanor. Isaiah 50:4

Thursday- Ramadan began on February 18 and is observed by many in Manchester. Would you pray for Jesus to illuminate the hearts of the women in the English Class? That they would still come to class each week even while fasting so they can hear the gospels leading up to the Resurrection?

Friday - Pray for our football outreach we are planning for May 27-29. Would you begin praying that God would bring families to faith through our partnership with Ambassadors Football Ministry.

Stories from the Field

A Year of Transition

We started this newsletter a year ago, and what a wild year it has been. It felt like a sweet celebration to have our sending church send its first team to us this month. We are 9 months into being on the field, but a year into the full time transition of moving to Manchester.

A team of 7 came to Manchester with the intention of loving and encouraging our family and hearing the vision for what ministry in Manchester will look like. We were able to connect the team with National Partners in multiple areas around the city to see how the Lord is moving and working in Manchester. We prayer walked, had afternoons of evangelism, and enjoyed lots of good meals chatting about life and ministry. The team tasted British snacks and treats and heard about life and church from our local Pastors and new church friends.

The juxtaposition of world cultures and light of Christ vs. darkness of the world were made very evident by walking around this great city. Beautiful historic churches that no longer preach the gospel next to Evangelical church communities prayerfully searching for a place to call their own within the same square milage.

As we shared very tearful goodbyes, we were left with a sense of over whelming thankfulness. Thankful for our sending church, and how the body has loved and supported us in this move and continue to hold the rope as we pour into life and ministry in the UK. We are thankful for the team's hearts to love, encourage, and support the Pastor's and workers here in Manchester that they met.

Kris and I say to each other about once a week, we can't believe we get to do this! To participate in how the Lord is growing the global church and how He is stirring in hearts here in Manchester.

We want to thank all of you that supported, donated, prayed, supplied, packed, babysat so that we could be loved by our sending church family. It is hard to say goodbye to our friends but to see them love our city as we do makes the connection much stronger. We love the photos of crumpets and bee mugs!

​Thank you for partnering along with us in prayer as we are sharing the gospel, making disciples, and helping plant churches. If you'd like to financially support us, 100% of gifts to our ministry account help cover ministry activities, travel, and local outreach as we serve in Manchester.
