Ministry never stops, especially at Christmas time.  During this holiday season, churches are still looking for the right person to file a critical role in evangelism, missions or outreach.  This year some exciting stuff is happening in the world of searching churches.  In adition to new churches that need our prayers, I want to share some of the wonderful things I've heard from the churches we're praying for.  I've listed them under 'Church Updates, and hope they encourage you as much as the did me. 
 

Here's a recap of some of the communications we've had in 2011 from the different churches you're supporting.  Read up and be encouraged.

Feb 2011 - Isle of Faith UMC in Jacksonville, FL was looking for a Family Minister when they heard you were praying for them.  They wrote, "What an encouragement your efforts are to us.  Thank you."

May 2011 - Eagleville Bible Church's search focused on finding a Pastor of Outreach and Counseling for their church in  Rock Creek, OH.  After we contacted them they told us, "We thank you deeply for your support in prayer...God bless and keep you!"
 
Sept 2011 - Grace Community Church in Detroit, MI, wrote me in September after learning about the prayer team saying, "Thank you so much for your prayers and your Prayer Team's prayers.  They are priceless."
