February 01! Can you
believe it? We have already completed 31
days in the year 2016. It seems like
just yesterday that we were putting up the Christmas tree and Decking the
Halls. As it has with us, I am sure this past
month has flown by with the busyness of life and family for you. Whether it is participating in Church Christmas Plays, serving in the Nursing Home, mapping out our 2016 ministry year with S.E.E., ministering alongside of Sturgeon Baptist Church, meeting with potential supporters, leading Basketball camps and Cheer leading programs life has a way of keeping us busy. We hope however, that as you have begun this New Year,
that you have found time to look back at the year past and look towards this Present
Year with Hope and Anticipation. God is
always at work!

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years Season!
As our family begins this new month we continue to seek and follow God’s leading. We
have found ourselves ever more reliant on HIM for Strength, Guidance and Provisions. Please pray for us as we
continue the vital role of raising support.
As you pray for our family in this area we also invite you to pray for
us in other areas as well for :
Patience
Clarity
Wisdom
Encouragement
Health

The Bible speaks of praying for one another, loving one another and caring for one another. We know that we would not be where we are, without the faithful prayers and support of our family and friends. We Thank you for your support and would love to talk with you if God lays it on your heart to consider supporting us in a prayer or financial capacity.
We are so Thankful to the prayer partners that have committed to prayer for our family and the ministry of Saint Equipped to Evangelize. We know firsthand the power of prayer and the importance of a strong foundation of prayer warriors. As well we are truly Thankful for those that have committed to become monthly financial partners. We are still praying for more monthly financial partners so that we may fully engage in the ministry that we feel called to be a part of. We are praying specifically for partners that could maybe commit to $25, $50, $75, $100, $250, or $500 monthly or a once a year donation. When we stepped out in faith to accept this position we knew that God would lead the way and that we had to follow Him in His timing.
Just a reminder of who Saints is: Please also follow the links above to their website
The vision for Saints Equipped to Evangelize is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in Italy and build thriving local churches in the midst of a secular culture. We do this by:
Equipping
ordinary people for evangelism, discipleship and missions-- short term and long term-- across cultures.
Supporting
missionaries and local churches on the field in Italy as they carry out the great commission.
Increasing
understanding of and prayer for the spiritual poverty in Italy among churches in the North America
As we continue this process of raising our support we wanted
