I requested prayer last week for continued outreach to our neighbors here in Milford. Getting pummeled by snow on Thursday (and as I sit and watch an additional8-14 inches fall), most everyone stays inside except to the shovel their driveway. During snow clean up I talked with Betty as we rested on our shovels, and I shared with her why she needs Jesus and invited her to church. She explained how she had not visited because she felt like she would betray her church. I talked with her and assured her that loyalty to a church should not keep her from evaluating what is true.
You also prayed for our Winter Retreat with the teens; well the snow made it even more enjoyable with great tubing, cross country skiing, and a ton of other activities. The teens were challenged from the book of Daniel on how to be a high profile witness for God in a hostile environment.
Go God:
1. The Gospel and Our Neighborhood
Pray for our neighbors (and yours). God has us near them so that we can help them find and follow Jesus.
2. Financial Support
We hope to begin raising financial support this week. Pray that we can get the prospectus completed. It will be a great tool in helping to communicate our dreams and values that will define this new church.
3. The Clouse's Move
We are packing boxes and anticipating an early March close of our house in Milford and our house in Goffstown. Ask God to keep everything in order, and that we would remain joyful in this busy time.
We covet your prayers!
The Clouse's and Dan Beaulieu
