Dear Prayer Warriors,
Our praises begin as we praise and thank our heavenly Father for all the freedoms we have:
- We're thankful for the freedoms that we have as Americans.
- We're thankful for the freedoms that we have as American Christians.
- We're thankful for the freedoms that we have as American Christian Missionaries.
These freedoms didn't come without a price. We're thankful for those who went before us to pay the price, who counted the cost and moved forward anyway, who had a vision of freeing people in bondage and for the many who gave of their lives so that we can have these freedoms.
We have just returned from the OMS World Outreach Celebration where hundreds of people have one common vision ~ reaching the nations for Christ. Many were foreign field missionaries, many were homeland missionaries, many were youth, many were prayer warriors and many were seasoned saints. All were people willing to GO, DO and GIVE whatever God calls them to in order to further the Kingdom. Please pray for our son David, as we witnessed the Lord convicting his heart for a lost world.
Our commissioning service a beautiful and Holy time! It was another one of those indescribable moments. We praise God for this special time.
On Sunday 7/10, we leave for 3 weeks of cross cultural training at OMS headquarters in Greenwood, IN. We believe this may be our last pre-requisite before leaving for the field of Ecuador. We praise God for this year of preparations! However, we will wait on the Lord's perfect timing as He brings in our funds that will permit us to go. There are those that the Lord desires to be a part of His work in Ecuador with us ~ pray that we open our eyes to them.
- Please pray for Ecuador and the Lord's work in that country.
- Please pray for our ability to comprehend all that we will learn over the next 3 weeks in training.
- Pray for the Coates Family (Darryl & Tina) as they seek God's leading and directing in reaching the nations for Christ.
Just as Jesus is at the right hand of God interceding for His children, we thank you for interceding to Jesus on our behalf.
Blessings to you,
Doug and Cindy
