February/March Praises and Prayer Requests

Praises:

  • Praise God for little baby Tappan!
  • Praise God for answering years of prayers for a staff at Dixie!
  • Praise God for giving us a new staff at UVU! 
  • Praise God for the 38 students who attended the faith dialogue and for the curiosity He stirred up in some of the LDS students!

Prayer Requests:
  • Please pray for continued health for our baby. Also, Samantha would appreciate prayers for her sleep and prayers for this transition into a new season of life.
  • Please pray for Craig and April as they transition from interns to staff. Pray for their fundraising this summer as they raise money to be full-time staff. Pray that God would provide them with places to live, prayer partners, and that He would be preparing students even now to work with them as they plant at Dixie State and with International students at UVU.
  • Pray for camp recruitment! This year it has been difficult recruiting students. Several students have parents (either nominal Christians or Mormons) who have been against them attending camp. We still hope to see 17 students at camp. So far we have around 12. We would love to see at least 4 more students sign up for Mark 1. 
  • Pray for camp prep! Pray for Justin as he prepares to teach our new students in Mark 1. Pray for Samantha as she co-teaches Mark 2 and directs camp. 
  • Pray for the students who attended the faith discussion. Pray that the LDS students would remain curious and come to a Bible study. Pray that the Christians would use their experience to start talking to their friends about faith.
  • Pray for our fund development as Justin works hard to be fully funded so that we can provide for our growing family. Pray that God would open up new networks and doors as we reach the end of ours.

  • Pray for each of our contact cards to respond as student leaders follow up with them individually; pray that these students would come to a small group.
