September missions
Spotlight
Jamie & Anita Farr
The Farrs live in Orlando, FL, where Jamie serves with Wycliffe Bible Translators as Strategic Innovation Consultant for the Pacific area.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
- For Jamie’s frequent travel, usually to Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific; for safety, no visa problems, and wisdom as he works with translation facilitators in several countries and many translation groups.
- For ongoing progress in the PNG translation work and harmonious interaction among the indigenous peoples involved in the projects.
- Protection for Anita and the children while Jamie is gone; good health, no vehicle breakdowns, keeping up with varied daily activities, etc.
- They have a need for at least 3 new donors who are willing to give monthly. They would love to have more than 3. Please pray for God to bring forth the financial support that is needed for them. Their support sometimes drops to a “trickle” of their need in a month, and on rare occasions it’s a “flood.” As we all know, it’s difficult to manage finances on fluctuating funds.
- Please pray for their teenagers’ interactions with each other. Lately, their conversations have become toxic. They want them to mind their tongues and to speak to their siblings with love.
- Please pray for their teenagers’ spiritual growth. Jamie and Anita do not want their children to be “fans” of God and Jesus. Too many Christians are fans, and not followers! They want their children to be FOLLOWERS and to walk with Him.
Church room usage
We ask that you still call the church office to reserve a room for your meeting! This keeps the church calendar current and also allows for proper room cleaning. The church office phone is 717.626.2175 or email office@lititztrinity.org.
