Praying Through August with Us!

Today is the 8th of August. Literally, I don't know where the first 8 days of August went. Summer is passing too fast! (As it always does in Canada!)

We want to invite you to pray through August with us. Why?

1) August was originally the month we wanted to aim to have all of our MAF ministry funds raised by. This was a totally crazy goal, but I (Kelly) function better with these sorts of goals (Marcel on the other hand is the realist). Anyway ... since it seems unlikely we will have all the money raised by the end of the month, at least we can celebrate August in another way ... through daily prayer! And who knows ... maybe God will do something crazy still!

2) We desperately need prayer for a lot of pressing matters. Now that we know we are going to Angola, and we know that MAF would like us to leave for language training in Portugal in early JANUARY ... time suddenly seems of the essence. There are important things to get done, including visas, licensing, and preparations that have the potential to drive us nuts ... if we try to do it on our own without God's help!

3) It will help make August last longer! Hahaha ... in all seriousness, I actually kind of mean it. Slowing down each day to take some time in prayer does seem to help slow down the passing of time, allows one to count their blessings and find a brief moment of refuge with God. And ... if you get to the end of the month and find you literally cannot remember anything that happened in August ... at least you will have done one awesome and meaningful thing!

So whether you join us here and there, once a week, or every day, will you join us in praying through August ... #AugustPrayforAngola?

Thanks! We're eternally grateful!
