Thank you again for remembering us and the work of the Lord in Haysi, VA. Here are some updates for praise and additional items for prayer.
Praise:
1. Danelle and Andrew Jensen are doing very well and much enjoying married life.
2. Dickenson First Presbyterian Church continues to have both morning and evening worship. Daniel will soon finish Luke 17. He has found Malachi to be most searching and convicting. You can listen to these sermons here.
3. The Shepherding Committee of Westminster Presbytery has agreed to come alongside Daniel and the elders at Big Ridge (BR) and help to address a number of vital issues.
4. Once again we are seeing the Lord strengthen RE Kerry Belcher’s businesses in recent days.
5. Pioneer Club has resumed with good attendance. The evening together is blessed by the Lord and warm fellowship is occurring.
6. Dorothy and Deborah both had a version of the “bug” but have recovered.
Prayer Request:
1. Pray that the preached Word would be heard and obeyed.
2. Pray for the Shepherding Committee as they engage the elders at BR and Daniel. Pray for a break through in each heart and that long standing heart issues will finally be resolved.
3. Continue to pray for reconciliation of members in the four PCA churches in north Dickenson County.
4. Dickenson First has begun the process of revitalization through the Fanning the Flame ministry of Briarwood PCA. Pray for Pastor Joe Weatherly as he coaches us through the next fourteen months. We have a good team. We are seeing some spiritual warfare erupt already, so please intercede for us.
5. Continue to pray for the Turner Family.
6. Pray for the Lord’s blessing on the children who come to Pioneer Club. Pray that this ministry would open doors into their families.
7. Pray for our eldest elder, Clynard Belcher (86). He suffered a stroke on March 3rd. He has made good progress thus far. He is a rehabilitation hospital undergoing physical therapy. Pray that he would be restored to his home and to the church. He greatly desires to be able to serve. Pray for his dear wife to have strength and that she may be able to get much need rest.
