PRAYER = New Year's Need

As we ring in the New Year, Elaine and I are excited about where God is taking us. As many of you already know we are making plans to visit the Oshman’s in Okinawa, Japan in March during Elaine’s Spring Break. This trip will formally introduce us to the Oshman’s and help us decide if a partnership will be a good thing for their ministry. (Mark and Jennifer Oshman and their three girls serve through Cadence International the U.S. Airmen at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. To learn more about their family click here.) If all goes well with our two week visit we will begin preparation to move to Japan for a one or two year assignment serving with them. We do have a few needs right now and could really use your partnership.

We need committed prayer partners. Here are some specific issues we could certainly use prayer for:

Japan Spring Break - We will be making our first trip to Japan in March. We pray that God will use this time to confirm that this is the ministry we are supposed to be doing. There will be a lot of preparation for this visit and it will take a lot out of Elaine and I. Please pray we are encouraged and prepared to go.

Graduation is almost here - This semester will be our last semester for our Bachelor’s degree. In May I will graduate from Liberty University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Religion and Elaine will graduate from Moody Bible Institute with a Bachelor’s of Art in Family Ministries. I will be taking 12 hours and Elaine will be taking 10 hours. This with us both working almost full-time jobs and trying to raise ministry partners has the potential to wear us down in only few short months.

This Summer – This time period will really be a transitional period for us. We will be traveling back and forth for a few months to visit with friends and family to finish the last of our financial support raising. Please pray God will provide all the partners we need.

Thank you Lord for your Grace,
Wes & Elaine
