October ’11 Prayer Letter

by on October 31, 2011 in Ministry Updates

Dear Praying Friends,

 

Well, the 3 month road-trip is just about over, and we are looking forward to spending a few weeks close to home around Thanksgiving. October was a busy month with 13 meetings between NC, FL, TX, and OH! We have added 3 confirmed new partnering churches, and several more waiting Faith Promise commitments. Praise the Lord for His provision!

God has really been teaching me to trust His purpose: if He made sure Jonah got to Nineveh when he didn’t even want to go, I’m pretty sure He’ll get us to Spain when we are hungry to get there and preach the Gospel!

PLUG IN:

I wanted to make sure to let you know about three of the best days on our calendar: Dec 29-31 of every year, Vision Baptist Church hosts the Our Generation Summit in Pigeon Forge TN.  The Summit is for every Christian with a heart for missions, and is geared toward helping people of all ages, abilities, and occupations get plugged into world missions on a deeper level as a goer or sender.  I could fill page after page with testimonies of people (including my own) whose lives have been affected in incredible ways from this event, but I’d rather see you come and have your own testimony! If you’d like more information about it, you can call me or visit www.bcwe.org. If you would like to come and cannot afford the registration fee, I’d love to take care of it for you. Hope to see you there!

PRAYER REQUESTS:

  • Melissa’s pregnancy: Should be going to the Dr’s office in a couple weeks for the first checkup!
  •  Safety on the road: God has kept us safe for over 75k miles now, but unfortunately the van hasn’t fared as well: it completely gave up the ghost in Texas last week! We have a great lead on a minivan offered by a church member that should get us through the next year. We need to come up with $3000 for this unexpected expense. If you’d like to help with that we’d sure appreciate it!
  • Barcelona contacts: Two more people have contacted us this month requesting Bibles: pray that God will keep working in hearts even while we are preparing to go!

 

Thanks again for your continued support, love, and prayer!

Scott, Melissa, Elena, and name-to-be-determined Newton
