We knew the day would come that we would have to tell our neighbors goodbye and that day will be here in less than 2 weeks. He has done so many amazing things involving ministry on our street and our pr@yer, along with the pr@yers of so many others, has been for another family to move in and continue the work which He has already begun. This pr@yer was answered above and beyond anything we could have imagined when he moved this family in 3 weeks ago. Our hearts were quickly knitted together ... and they, too, have heard Him say "go and make disciples." They also understand that M is wherever you are and that understanding has created a love and an undeniable passion for the people who live in this neighborhood. Our families have spent many hours together in the 3 short weeks that we've been next door neighbors, including an evening walk up and down our street so they could be sure and meet everyone. Thank you, Father, for answered pr@yer!! James 5:16...
We spent a few more hours with them today, including an evening picnic.

Favorite Quotes:
"The world is not our place of rest; it is a time of work and follow hard after Je$us. When we get home, we can rest. But for now, G*d is calling His children to share the gospel of the cross, the power of our Holy Father; it's time we obediently follow Him. May we all live our lives in a manner worthy of the calling we have received in Chr!st Je$us. May we live lives we will never regret." -- FACING TERROR, Carrie McDonnall

They come from people who dare to obey what they read. ...On the cruel edges of the world, there is no need for elaborate explanations to bring a distant b!blical text closer to our lives. Rather, when we go to the cruel edges of the world, we bring our lives closer to the text." --Andy Crouch, Chr!stianity Today
"...because I know that my Father knows, and I am going to watch and see how He unravels this thing." -- Oswald Chambers, MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST

I have honestly been inspired by your ministry in your neighborhood, and I'm glad that He who began a good work there will be faithful to complete it!
