Prayer News

We appreciate our many prayer contacts, especially those in our key churches in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. These individuals share this prayer news with their churches each month, and they keep us informed of what is happening on the home front! Prayer is a vital part of our ministry, we are continually looking for faithful believers to pray for us. If you would like to represent us as a prayer contact in your church, please email us at prayerpartners(at)submerging.org.

We left Tasmania on December 7th, bidding a sad farewell to so many people and a work that is progressing so well. Our trip took us to Frankfurt, Germany for a 3-day vacation, then to Prague, Czech Republic to meet with our new Cluster leader and several other colleagues there.

We arrived in the US on Dec 15th, and needless to say, it was great to see our families again. Great to be together with our 3 children for the first time in 2 years--but for just 2 short weeks, as Josh and Joy had to travel back to school. We shared at our home church, Northwest Baptist (MD), in 2 services.

Ben's mom had knee surgery just before Christmas, and recovery has been slow. He has been available to take her to follow-up appointments and assist around the house.

In early January we shared at Forest Baptist in Lynchburg. We traveled to Richmond for our week-long debriefing conference, then to Southeastern Seminary for one day to visit Josh and see his school. We spent quite a bit of time in Harrisburg visiting Tim & Christina, mostly helping them begin the process of finding a house to buy. One of our most exciting experiences was speaking at Pleasant Valley Baptist (MD), as about a dozen people came forward to commit themselves as disciple makers! Ben will be taking them through Reboot, the method that he has used in Australia for nearly 3 years.

Here are our prayer requests for February 2010 . . .

• Pray for disciple makers! Upon our return to the US, we have spoken in 3 of our 12 "key" churches, and all three have expressed interest in the Reboot disciple training that Ben has been doing in Australia. He began training at Pleasant Valley Baptist (MD) with about 20 participants at the first session! Pray for these churches, that many believers will become effective disciple makers.
• Pray for our son Tim and his wife as they await the arrival of their new baby. Christina is due on the 9th. We value your your prayers--that all goes well with the delivery, and for mother and child after the birth.
• Our son Josh has begun his second semester at Southeastern seminary. His primary concern at this time in finding a job to support himself more fully, and despite his efforts, he has not found work. Pray that he will find a job soon.
• Praise God that Joy has been feeling better! Our daughter, at California Baptist University, was very sick most of January. Not only is she fully recovered, her faith has taken giant steps forward. Pray for her ongoing health, physically and spiritually.
• Pray for our national partners back in Australia, that they will continue to work effectively in our absence. Pray especially for Lisa and the church that meets in her house--she reports that the church is going well.

Thank You for Praying For the Armacosts!
