March Update

Hello Prayer Warriors!

We just wanted to send a quick update on our situation with our move and ministry in Utah. JR and Becky are flying to Utah this Thurs. to meet with Mickie, the church planter, and the Crossings Church. We will be in Utah for 5 days, and we will be very busy while we are there! J.R. will begin looking for a job, and we hope to secure some idea of housing as well. We will also get to worship with Crossings Church for the first time! Yeah! They have asked J.R. to share his heart with the people, so please be in prayer for that as well. Our estimated date for moving is the middle of May, but that is obviously dependent upon a job for J.R. Because pretty much everything is controlled by the LDS church there (97% Mormon in the town where we are going), so it may seem difficult to find a job. However, we know that our God is bigger than that, so we have faith that He will provide the perfect job for J.R. in His perfect time. As far as finding housing goes, that may already be taken care of.

Our major prayer requests at this time:
*A job for J.R. in Utah
*Housing for us in Utah
*Safe travel to and from Utah this weekend
*Emily's health problem--we see the urologist on Apr. 1
*Continuing to gather support from NAMB and individual churches


Praises:
*J.R. was able to find a good 4 wheel drive truck that we could afford for the snowy conditions in Utah.
*We now have 4 churches that have pledged to support us.

Thank you so much for your prayers! We'll should have a good update when we get back next week. If you have any specific questions, let us know.
