London...again

How fitting that our last post was after we returned from London last summer. Now, in 11 days, I will return to London with 8 students and 3 adults to once again partner with my brother and the believers in London to share the Gospel. I am so excited that God has opened the door to return so soon for so many reasons: 1. I get to see my brother, sister-in-law, and my tiny, British nephew 2. I will hopefully get to meet back up with brothers and sisters in Christ that I met last time including Raymond (man I got to lead to Christ last summer) 3. I get the opportunity to talk with people of London about our glorious Savior in Jesus 4. I get to lead this incredible team to encounter God in a new way--in a way that could cause their hearts to explode for the Kingdom 5. I get the opportunity to return to the place where I was when so much monumental revelation from God came to me thru His Word and Spirit. This is the place where the meaning of living in the power of the Spirit and the Spirit living thru me was made clear! How could I not be excited to return? But, thru all this I am just as well not ready to go....I don't want to leave Lacey and Hallie at all. Please be in prayer for my two girls that God will sustain them in my absence and that Lacey will even find a new dependence on the Lord during this time. Please pray for us that God will provide what we need as we are away from each other and that communication will be possible. Also, my plate is so full right now with things I can't take out of my life--family, London preparation, school (a ton of it), and some things that I probably shouldn't have committed to but I am now committed and want to be a man of integrity in my promises. Please pray in these ways and that God will give me the knowledge of His will thru a revitalized devotion to him in my personal quiet times with him. We love you all and cherish your support thru prayer. It's not the least you can do, it's the greatest thing you can do!
