10 Days of Prayer were Great!

Ten days of prayer were great! We prayed a total of 1745 “man hours.” The children played a huge role in the number of hours we prayed this year as together everyone under 18 prayed a total of more than 600 hours.


Primarily we were praying for people who need Jesus - by name. We had over a hundred cards with several names on each one. We were also praying for our Good Friday Outreach. (News on that to come later.) Another focus of our prayer was the 10 Days of Prayer that our daughter church was having in Negritas, Mexico.


The church in Negritas had a goal of praying at least 1000 hours during their 10 Days. God blessed them greatly as they prayed a total of 1560. In Negritas, they wrote down the names of every single person in the community on the cards and prayed repeatedly for them to come to know Jesus.


Some people from a nearby community of Lindero came and spent a good amount of time in prayer. They have been attending the church every week since Jon was there in January. The work there is growing!

Emily came to pray - at two days old!
