I don't often post things to pray about, but I know many church planters read this blog and can relate, so...
If you think of it today, pray for Drew and his family. No accidents, or health crises, thankfully- but something weighing on them nonetheless. Drew planted a church about a year and a half ago called Vox, and worked hard at pastoring while also working hard outside the church to support his family. In October, the father of one of his community members contacted Drew about making a sizeable contribution to their community.
It seemed like an answer to his family's prayer- a way to give full time attention to shepherding and building their community. They rearranged certain details of their lives in anticipation of this money coming in, but now it seems there might be a hitch in the works. It hasn't yet been forthcoming and it seems like it may not be any time soon...
Pray, if you would for God's provision, and for peace. This is a terrible time of year to have to worry about putting food on the table. Pray that God pushes this man to follow through with his generous promise, or that in some other way, Drew's family will be cared for, be it another job or something else.
Thanks...
I will, I did:)
