“Pray for laborers, 

then give your life as the answer to that prayer.” – David Platt

HOW YOU CAN PRAY:

  1. Please do continue praying for me and for all the pastors, full-time workers, and interns who are serving with 20schemes. Pray that we would have boldness and courage, that the Lord would protect the 20schemes churches and workers from evil, and that we would never, never, ever underestimate the power of the glorious Gospel of the Lord Jesus. 
  2. I am heading down to D.C. this Friday to finish up my visa application and get it sent off for approval. It would be so encouraging to have your prayers for a quick turnaround on this application so that I may be able to depart for Scotland on November 1st
  3. Please pray, too, for the families whose departure dates to serve with 20schemes have been set back due to visa delays. Please pray that God would encourage them! 

PICTURE FOR THIS WEEK:

“Merkinch, located in the city of Inverness, is among the most deprived areas in Scotland despite being less than two miles away from one of the wealthiest areas. This scheme is a close-knit community. However, Merkinch struggles with high crime rates, mental health problems, and poor education.” – 20schemes

The people of Merkinch, Inverness will be my people for the next two years as I live with them and join the 20schemes’ plant/revitalization Merkinch Free Church as a Ministry Intern. Please pray for this scheme!
