Mar-Apr 2010-Bushnell Beat









Dare 2 Share
We went. We had struggles. We had safety and protection. We worshipped and prayed. We gained an appreciation about the reality of hell. We talked to friends on our phones about Jesus.
We arrived home safe. There are still things to be worked out with members of our group. Pray that God will provide healing and understanding.

What to pray about
Depth of understanding and maturity of teens seeking God
A breakthrough of the Holy Spirit to the Bushnell – Prairie City community
A desire for teens that say they are following Christ to get a hunger for His Word
For a young man to not put off his trusting in Christ any longer
Teens that deal with anger in the wrong way and for them to ask God to help them
Sanity for my wife as we face a very intrusive army of Asian beetles

Answer to Prayers!
Thank you for all of your prayers over the last month! They have been felt and needed. We are
continuing to work with the teens that are struggling emotionally. I am feeling much better, especially after spending Easter weekend in Florida with my family. God has given me opportunities to be in deep conversations with a couple of teens about what is
our most important aim, loving God first above all else.

10th Annual Soup Supper
For the 10th straight year, Bushnell teens served over 100 adults at this year’s Super Duper Soup Supper. Our three main goals are: (1) to raise awareness about what God is doing through YFC in Bushnell, (2) to give teens a chance to serve the adults that support YFC, and (3) to raise some dollars for teens to go on YFC trips and events.

Depth Charge
Teens see evidence of God working around the world and in their world via video. A couple of
Bushnell teens have been sharing their faith and getting ridiculed. Pray for perseverance and good results.

Family Time
We had very needed time away from it all in Florida over Easter with just our family. That is our first ever vacation with just the five of us. It was nice.
Also, we are finalizing the sale of our home April 15 – buyers have sold theirs – BIG answer to prayer!
