Intercessors

Psalm 119:49-50, "Remember what you said to me, your servant— I hang on to these words for dear life! These words hold me up in bad times; yes, your promises rejuvenate me."


Sorry I missed last week. I was working with my local church on our VBS, High Seas Expedition. We had a great time and 8 decisions for Christ out of about 100 kids. Praise Jesus!

Thanks,

Dwayne

To Our Faithful Intercessors

Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:3

• Remember the residents: Matt, Ryan, Christian, Erika, Jessyca, Brittany, Julie, Marissa, Lizzie, Parker, Billyjean, Javon, Justin

• Marissa’s foot. She was walking a lot on it, like the doctor told her to. She even participated in our annual field day activities.

• Swafford's are getting settled into the brown house.

• House-parents: Cunninghams, Bakers, Miss Candy, Pitts, & Swaffords

• Relief HP's the Hardings. Dave’s mom doing better. He sees her getting stronger each day.

• Julie is home. She came home last Thursday. Finger is doing much better.

• GYR Board of Directors meeting went well. We need prayer as we fill new positions. We need some Christ-centered men and/or women with time and a desire to serve.

I spent the day at Arkansas Youth Camp yesterday. Being a soldier of Jesus Christ is the camp theme. It is always a blessing to me to see all of our friends and sit under some great teachers. All of our young men are there. Most of the girls are home for a visit, except for Brittney who is at camp also. House-parents are getting some much needed rest this week.

I got to visit with Patrick this week. He is at camp. He seems to be doing well. I talked with his mom and she indicated that he is talking with the band director at school. He wants to be part of that program. So keep on praying for Patrick.

Billy Jean and Ryan both returned to family last week. Please pray for their continued success and that they will remember the things that they learned here.

Thank you for joining us in the fight.
Your friend,

To Our Partners In Prayer

It’s better to have a partner than go it alone. Share the work, share the wealth.
And if one falls down, the other helps, But if there’s no one to help, tough!

By yourself you’re unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped. Eccl 4:9-10 & 12


We had a planning meeting with the leaders of Glenhaven yesterday. We were blessed to be able to meet in a church in Little Rock. We had a great day. We spoke truth into each other’s lives. We challenged each other with ways to improve as a team and as leaders. We laughed together and yes, we even planned a few things. I think that everyone was encouraged. My prayer is that that attitude will spill over to each of their teams and make the Ranch better for our kids.

• Marissa’s foot. She has been released to be weight-bearing. It does hurt her to put weight on it. So pray that she will have the courage to do endure the pain of walking on it again.


• Patrick


• Swafford's are here. They are getting settled into the brown house.


• The end of school is tomorrow. Our annual Field Day is tomorrow. Great fun for everyone.


• House-parents: Cunninghams, Bakers, Miss Candy, Pitts, & Swaffords


• Relief HP's the Hardings. Dave’s mom doing better she is off the ventilator, but still in danger.


• Julie is in the hospital. She is a receiving whirlpool treatment for her finger. The infection had worked its way into the tip of the bone. She is improving.


• GYR Board of Directors meeting tomorrow.


Thank you for standing with us.
