SPARK FLORIDA

THURSDAY, 7 beautiful, FUN, servant-hearted women from Shady Oaks Baptist Church and I will leave for Florida to serve with SPARK MINISTRY at the Union Rescue mission in Orlando.  There will be approximately 100 women to serve, including 40-50 from a shelter in Jacksonville.  Approximately 50 women will go on this SPARK trip altogether representing 10 different churches!  Please pray that God would prepare our hearts with love overflowing, and prepare the hearts of the women there to be loved by God in a new, fresh, BIG TEXAS WAY!

Please pray as I prepare to lead worship on this trip, choose appropriate songs and memorize the words!  Pray for safe travels, smooth details, families we leave at home, for extra faith to watch what God can do, bind Satan and declare victory in Jesus as He goes ahead of us and prepares our way!

The women of Shady Oaks have never been on a trip and I can't wait to see them grow in the Lord through this experience, gaining new perspective on life!    Pray for each of them by name:

• Patti Adams
• Monica Alsaker
• Amber Farrill
• Joy Hardwick
• Ashleigh Roberson
• Lori Sims
• Vickie Smith

Thank you for serving the Lord by praying for us as we seek to SERVE PEOPLE AND REFLECT KINDNESS!

But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in You.  For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as a shield.  Psalm 5:11-12

SPARK in September

Time for another SPARK trip with SPARK MINISTRY and I can't wait!!!  NYC's Bowery Women's shelter was where I first started with SPARK and the first trip is when I found out I was blessed with my now 4yo, Moriah Natalie on July 1, 2007.  The Bowery Women's Center is an amazing place where women in NYC can come to renew the lives from the inside out.  SPARK comes in for a weekend of blessing, loving, sharing, praising, praying and partying, because you know....girls just wanna have fun!  While having fun, it's amazing how good our God is to put all the pieces together to knit our hearts because of the bond we have in Jesus.  We watch as some who don't know our Jesus yet, open up to these crazy Texas women and break down walls as we share that we're really not that different at all.  Please pray in preparation for this trip.  I will be a small group leader and get to invest in, share with intimately and hear from these women their amazing testimonies of God's working in their lives.  I'm so blessed to get to go but need prayer warriors to stand in the gap for me.  Thank you and Love you for your time and support.
