Elijah House Graduation!
Praise God for another successful E.H. Course. Stef led another life transforming course with attendees from 4 different churches. Graduation night was a powerful night of worship and testimonies!Stef recently returned from a E.H. training that will release her to teach the course live, allowing her to teach the principals of the course in a more relevant way for a diverse community. Thanks to all who supported her trip!
Please Pray:
- Pray for wisdom in course and leadership development as Stef looks to continue the course this fall
- Pray for the emerging leaders here in Coatesville who will assist in bringing this healing ministry to others.
Please keep the Zambia team in prayer. I'll (steve) be leaving on July 30Th for 2 weeks in Kaombe village, Northern Zambia with 11 other team members. We will be assisting with the water project, running a VBS camp for 160 kids, and generally we assist with a revival at one of the local churches. We are trusting God to do a mighty work and bring hope instead of despair, life instead of death, healing instead of sickness and the great news of His Kingdom from house to house and village to village!Pray for:
- Team unity and health
- Pray that the logistics for the water project would work out smoothly.
- Pray that seed of the Gospel would take root and bring about a great harvest for the Kingdom
We had a great time at our annual Wilson Family beach week! Ian was excited to learn how to surf with Uncle Don (only surface wounds were inflicted!). It's a blessing each year to see family and bask in the sun.Ian is currently in a summer reading camp and will be going into second grade this fall! He loves summer time swims and playing with the neighborhood kids. Luke just turned 5 and is excited to
head into Kindergarten this fall and a chance to be in Ian's big school...And Maddie continues to steal our hearts with her smile and laugh. She's 17 months and walking, talking, and holding her own with 2 big brothers.We ask that you continue to keep us and Coatesville in prayer especially in this season. The weight of a declining economy weighs especially heavy on a community like Coatesville where many families and children are in desperate need for the necessities of life and the faith to believe God will see them through.
We encourage you to be strong in the Lord and His mighty power! It is He who has called you and equipped you to walk in victory through Jesus Christ~ Don't look to your circumstances but to the author and perfector of your faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Much love!
Steve, Stefanie, Ian, Luke and Maddie
