BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front):
We have moved into the new house!
Ben attended a church planting conference and the annual staff retreat, both of which were a pleasure.
Rachael’s job details are still uncertain.
As you begin to consider end-of-year giving, we would be honored if you considered supporting us.
Prayer requests are at the end of this email.
Greetings, all!
As always, we thank you so much for supporting us. We are humbled by your prayers, care, financial generosity, and support for church planting.
Another month has come and gone, and life still hasn't slowed down. As you can see in the video, we are now in the new house (#2 or 3 since moving to Texas, depending on how you look at it) and are starting to feel settled in. The process was seamless, and the Lord came through in so many ways throughout. We are thankful to put some of those difficulties behind us.
I (Ben) attended an Acts 29 conference in Houston, where we heard good speakers share lessons learned, tactics to learn, and more about the world of church planting. We connected with others who share that deep passion, those who have planted or are planting churches, or who lead churches that are leaning into supporting church-planting initiatives. I also enjoyed the annual staff retreat, which was a fantastic experience. The Lord showed up in some incredible ways. One evening of worship and prayer, scheduled for two hours, was cut off at 11:00. In the debriefs since, I have heard nothing but awesome testimonies of how God was working in and through people during those couple of days. I definitely want to replicate that experience with my church staff down the road.
For those who have been asking about Rachael’s job details, everything is still up in the air. We hope to have things sorted out soon. If you missed our last update and would like to be on the list we send day-to-day prayer requests to, reply to this email. As we approach end-of-year giving, we still need tremendous support as we look ahead to next year. We would appreciate it if you would consider us for any end-of-year giving that you may have.
Lastly, we forgot to mention prayer requests in the video, so here they are:
For Rachael’s job situation to get sorted out and be able to work here in Fort Worth.
That God would begin to work in the hearts of those who will be part of our 2028 launch.
For Rachael’s continued healing from the C-section.
Overall health for our family, as we have all gotten sick lately.
We are thankful for each and every one of you! May God bless you!
Ben & Rachael
