We need you this week!

Dear friends and prayer warriors,

We really need your prayers over the next week. Tomorrow we travel to Clarksville, GA for our Le Rucher de-briefing, which begins Saturday night and goes through Friday at noon. We are the subject matter for the debriefing, the only ones there with our de-briefers. This could be a pretty intense week as we process some of the hard things we have experienced over the last few years. We covet your prayers for us as we go! Going through debriefing is the next step towards us being able to be Certified Le Rucher de-briefers too.

More changes are on the way as well. We have been offered a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house in Cedar Rapids that we are going to be able to rent for slightly less than the cost our current apartment and storage unit. We plan to be in on November 1! We will miss our friends and neighbors here in Marion, and this little apartment too. It has been such a safe haven for us in our grief and a great place to have friends and family over. But it will be so nice to have a guest room again for overnight guests.

And one last change! Our ministry time with All Nations has expanded in the last year to 30% of our time. We are providing coaching and mentoring of overseas workers, Pastoral care for some others, and teaching and helping locally as well. The Lord is using us internationally, from here. So we’ve decided it’s time to begin drawing a stipend from our account with All Nations to help with our living expenses.

So many of you have been so generous with us, and we are so blessed by your giving. We will also continue to draw from our account for our travel and training for ministry. We are going through the debrief, driving to meet in person people we’ve been providing Pastoral Care and coaching, and a wedding in Texas where we will meet others on the teams we coach.

Thank you for reading and praying through this short update! It means so much to us!!
Know we pray for you all too. Please do send any ways we can pray for you.

Thanks,
Brett & Debbie
