More Workers

We are trying, as a family and as a mission team to place a higher emphasis on prayer. As of the last few months we have been dedicating Fridays to specifically focus our prayer time together on asking the "Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest field" (Luke 10:2). We believe that there are many more people in Mexico City who are seeking a relationship with Christ and that God desires to use to expand His kingdom. Our prayer is for God to lead us to those people. This weekend we all gathered at our house to pray together. It was a really encouraging time and we can sense that we are growing together in the discipline of prayer. We will now invite our Mexican brothers and sisters to pray this prayer along with us on Fridays and we dream of seeing many households of people gathering together to pray for more workers. Please consider joining us from wherever you are - at anytime, of course - but specifically on Fridays. Oh, and I can't not include this inspirational moment...Benjy has been teaching Reece about prayer and explained to him that we need to be asking God to send us more people. So last night when I put Reecer to bed I asked him what we should pray for. He said a few things and then said, "send more workers". I agreed and began to pray but he interrupted me and said, "Father, send more workers...Amen" with a double clap (I am not sure why, but Reece always does a double clap after "Amen" - its cute).
