Judgment Update

An answer to prayer! The judge kept the judgment as it stands (no increase).
Now we ask for focused prayer that the plaintiff and their attorney
will accept the settlement offer.
Please KEEP praying!

We are grateful for all of you!

YBIC and YSIC,
Drew and Brooke

Prayer Request

Jim has asked us to pray for Greg who is soon to depart on a missions
trip to Latin America. Here are Greg's prayer requests...Dear Praying
Family,

The clock is running down toward the departure date for my next trip
to Latin America, and still no Cuban Religious Visa in hand.

we depart Friday Feb. 22 for Asuncion, Paraguay where we will present
of four-day seminar on Church Planting Strategy and Worldview.

…please pray the Religious Visa would be granted
(especially since I have purchased my tickets!)

…pray, whether before or after Feb. 22, that I would be
able to catch up with it somewhere along the road.

…finally, pray for the remainder of funding for these two trips.

Greg also asks us to pray for his wife, Laura, and daughter, Aubrey
when he is away.

thanks
Drew

Prayer Request

As incredible as it may seem, we need MORE and CONTINUED prayer!
The judge has yet again delayed his final ruling to potentially
further increase the judgment until NEXT Friday, February 22. Please
pray that
the judge will not increase the judgment anymore.

love,
Brooke and Drew

Prayer as an aggressive act?

"Violence and love are not contradictory...[we] must learn of
Calvary's power. Love. And,[we] must also learn Calvary's price.
Violence."-Jack Hayford

Chist's sacifice was a violent act of love.

From the time of John the Baptizer until now, the kingdom of heaven
has been forcefully advancing, and forceful people have been seizing
it. (Mat 11:12 GW)

This continues to be a strange and new concept for me. I have always
seen prayer as a passive, afterthought. But prayer, like Christ's
sacrifice for us, is an aggressive act against the evil and darkness
of this world that wants to steal our hearts.

Prayer Request

As incredible as it may seem, we need MORE prayer! The judge is going
to rule on the final part of the case this Friday, February 15, and he
could rule to even further increase the judgment. Please pray that
the judge will not increase the judgment anymore.

love,
Brooke and Drew

Final Judgment

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature...life
is either a daring adventure, or nothing."... Helen Keller

Please lift Brooke and I up in prayer during this 'daring adventure'.
The judge acknowledged the wrongness of the jury verdict but refused
to change it.

Please pray for a negotiated settlement in the coming days...

We have been truly overwhelmed by all of your love and prayers.

Your Brother and Sister in Christ,
Brooke and Drew

Prayer Update

Please pray for the judge to reverse his tentative decision. At the
hearing today, it was incredible to hear the judge acknowledge from
the bench that he disagreed with the jury's verdict, but that he
didn't think he could and/or would reverse it....Please pray!!!

love,
Drew and Brooke
