Another week and more chances to participate in this adventure through prayer. Last week was an exciting week because I got to go to the Catalyst conference and God really did some work on my heart. Now more than ever I realize the difficulty of the task of planting a church, and so, now more than ever I am thankful for those of you that pray for me, the team, and the project. Thank you.

 Here are our prayer needs:

Personal:

• I have a house in Douglasville that I desperately need to get rented because I can’t stay under the mortgage payment much longer. (this is probably our biggest need right now) 
• Jess and I both need more sleep
• I have been a little sick the past few days, so I’m in desperate need of energy.
• I really need to carve more reading time into my day, but it’s hard to figure out where…

For the Church:

• Core team - I’m meeting with some possible core team members this week, please pray that they will catch the vision and commit and that more people will come on board with what we are doing.
• Staff - Still no commitments here, but some awesome possibilities. Please pray that God will bring the right people on board to accomplish his will.
• Funds - I don’t want to harp on this one, but it is a prayer need. I will have to start fund raising soon, which is a daunting task. Please pray that God will lead me to the right people and prepare both my heart and theirs.

I know some of these are repetitive, but that just means that these needs are that important. Thank you for your prayer and your encouragement through this process.
