Pray for Mr. Jeff


Parents, I am asking for all of you to pray for me. This past Sunday I found out just before service that I am going to Belize THIS Saturday. There is a team from CBF meeting up with a couple of men from Alabama to do construction and outreach. Below is a list of prayer requests and Bible verses for while I am gone. These will also be handed out this Sunday in the Sunday morning classes. It may also help to pull out a map and show your child where Belize is. Please especially lift up our team on Sunday evening as our team partners with four churches in Belize to do a Men’s Barbeque outreach. That evening I will be sharing the gospel, and our team will challenge the men to lead their families. Thank you all so much for your prayers. I cannot wait to come back and tell stories about  how God used us!
