Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication…
Keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
and pray also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel.
Ephesians 6:18-19
I really do want you to “pray at all times in the Spirit” and to “pray for all the saints.” Truly there are so many needs around us – some you know, some you don’t. So prayer is always in needed. But if I am allowed to make a special request, I really do need your prayer this coming week! This Thursday I’ll be heading to Mexico along with the rest of the Psalm 67 Missions team, including Aaron Sutton, Rick Clausel, Brig Jones and Alex Noark. Once there, we’ll spend Friday and Saturday leading a conference for pastors and their church members centered around the theme “Let the Nations Be Glad.” Brig and I will do most of the preaching. The other brothers will provide support. And of course, Aaron will be in charge. On Sunday we will preach in various churches both in Mexico and then back in the US that evening.
With that trip in mind, here is how you can pray for us:
• Pray for our safety. The area we’ll be in is not the safest.
• Pray for our travel and fellowship together
• Pray for me and Brig as we prepare our messages. I really do need your prayer-help here. I am a loooong way from being ready for this trip!
• Pray that the Holy Spirit will work through us so that we will be a benefit and blessing to these brothers! We really do desire this!
• Pray that God will guide us to those with whom we need to share His grace and/or the encouragement of His word.
• Pray for these pastors and the churches they serve to be faithful in Christ
• Pray for our families here at home while we are gone.
Looking forward to the trip, and to our return home!
Pastor Scott
