Answered Prayers


Will you thank God with us? We have seen answers to many prayers in our 10 months in Jordan....
  • a healthy home fellowship of other American believers 
  • older, godly leaders who advise and counsel us 
  • good relationships with many Arab believers, especially in our Arab church 
  • an opportunity for our family to serve together for 6 months at a center for Iraqi children 
  • a language helper and ministry partner, as well as time to study 
  • several apps that have helped the kids learn Arabic while homeschooling 
  • a vehicle 
  • continued financial support from many of you 
  • funds to purchase an apartment with good neighbors in a location central to friends and ministry opportunities 
  • a park across from our apartment where we can exercise, socialize, and practice Arabic 
  • a youth group of 50+ teenagers where our kids have made good friends 
  • excellent host families and good learning/serving/working opportunities for our 3 oldest kids in KY 
All of these blessings together do not equal the blessings we have in Christ Himself. "I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." ~ Philippians 3:8. Please pray....
  1. for my mom Pat as she transitions to life without my dad Jim, who went to be with the Lord suddenly after a heart attack on August 21st. 
  2. for many details to be completed related to the online tool for biblical parenting in Arabic. 
  3. for my wife and I to parent, as well as relate to one another, according to John 1:14 ~ "full of grace and truth".
