April Prayer Requests and Praises

 Praises:

• Praise God for his gift of the CCU student team who came to Orem this month.  Praise God for the friendships and connections they developed, for the ways the LORD taught them about evangelism and mission, and for the hope they brought to UVU.
• Praise God for a great season of camps and retreats for UVU, Utah Tech, and SUU.
• Praise God for sustaining us through a busy month and through many illnesses.
• Praise God for our three new interns who are about to start fundraising!

Prayer Requests:

• Pray for our staff team to finish well at all of our campuses this month.  Pray for rest as we head into the summer season.
• Pray for the summer Provo GP which is May 26th-June 27th.  Student participants are currently fundraising - please pray for God's provision for them.
• Pray for our family as we prepare to welcome a new baby girl! Please pray for a healthy/safe delivery, for Justin to be in town when she comes, and for a healthy last few weeks of pregnancy for Samantha. 
• Pray for the UVU students who we met during the CCU missions trip.  We will continue to follow up with these students and invite them to Bible studies this month. 
• Pray for our interns (Matt, Casey, and Abbie) as they fundraise in preparation for their internship in the fall. 

March Prayers and Praises

 Praises:

• Praise the LORD that we have hired two interns (Abbie and Casey) to work at UVU in the fall!
• Praise the LORD that we have a team of 14 students coming from Colorado Christian to spend their spring break at UVU on mission!
• Praise the LORD for a short family trip for us before baby!

Prayers:

• Please pray for Casey and Abbie as they fundraise in order to move to Orem later this summer (hopefully before school starts!)
• Pray for our CCU missions team to love the lost, bear fruit on campus, and that God might call some of them to long term missions here in Utah.
• Pray for our students and staff as they attend camps and retreats this month.  Pray for safe travel, health, and most of all, the movement of the Holy Spirit in each of their lives and their willingness to be sanctified by Him. 
• Pray for Justin as this is an incredibly busy month for him.  He will spend a week at camp on Catalina Island and a week hosting the CCU missions team. 
• Pray for Samantha as she spends lots of time watching the girls while Justin goes to camp and hosts the missions team.  Things have been getting harder for her as she's 31 weeks pregnant and has been experiencing quite a bit of hip pain.
