Today 14 Missionary Athletes from across the country are meeting up in Kentucky for a 5 day Crusade. This is my 25th Crusade. This will be my third time visiting Kentucky with the Saints and I am looking forward to sharing the Gospel! I am looking forward to getting back on the field this week with some good teammates!
Here are a few very specific prayer requests for our team:
Traveling Mercies– There are 14 men going on this trip from all over the place! We have guys traveling from Wisconsin, New Jersey, Georgia and of course Illinois, We will spend quite a bit of time in the Tucson area but keep us in prayer as we travel this week.
Team Unity– This is going to be a fun group to be around this week! Please pray that fellowship will be sweet and morale will be high as we serve together. Most of the team is made up of Saints who have been around for a while.
Team Performance– The results of the games aren’t important but it is critical that we play well and that we earn the respect of the inmates. If we play well and earn their respect, they will be more likely to stick around and listen to us share the Gospel. There are a few people my age on this trip so pray that we are able to avoid the injury bug!
Kentucky is always hot so please keep our team in prayer as we battle it out!
Speakers– Pray for the Missionary Athletes who will be sharing their testimonies of how they met Jesus and for the Missionary Athletes who will be sharing the Gospel. I will be sharing my testimony later this week.
Families– Several of the 14 Missionary Athletes are leaving a family at home so they can minister. Please pray for all of the wives and moms who have to brave work and kids by themselves. I’m very thankful for the support that I have from home on these trips!
Inmates– Most importantly, pray for the men that we will encounter as they are the purpose of this trip. Pray that they hear the Gospel and will see a need in their lives to follow Jesus! Pray that God works in their hearts and that God draws them to Himself.
I will be updating my Facebook page throughout the week.
Thank you in advance for the prayer support and for all of the encouragement many of you have been over the last several years! I’m looking forward to sharing the stories from this week!
P.S. Here is a picture from our visit from Saturday to Vandalia CC. I will write about our visit to Centralia CC and Vandalia CC when I get home!
