Quick Prayer Update From the Mullets

Thank you to everyone who has continued to pray for our family and for the ministry God has given us here in the Northern Territory, Australia.  Just a quick update for you so you can pray for us more specifically. :)

PRAISES!!
-Praise God the church has been growing A LOT.  Just a year ago we had our family, 2-4 ladies from Barunga sitting around a table praying, reading and studying the Bible together... This morning we had close to 50 people at church!  Cheri had 23 kids in Sunday School.

-The kids Bible club each week has been growing as well!  Two weeks ago they had 40 children attend the club.  Praise God for bringing in the kids and also their mums/dads.  It's a huge blessing. 

-Praise God for Pastor Patrick and his wife, Jen, who have done an excellent job connecting with the community and helping the church to reach out more!
-Our church outreach at the Venndale Rehab Centre has been going well, too.  Saturday we had close to 12 men attend the service, and our church works well with the staff out at Venndale.


Prayer requests:
-Please pray for continued growth in the church.  There are still 300+ people in the community who aren't attending, and we want to reach out to them as well.

-In a neighboring community, our church has been asked to take services at their church.  Pray for the people we need to be able to meet this need.  At this time, everyone feels "flat out" with what we're up to already! :)

-This Friday is the beginning of the teen group out in Barunga.  Pray the teens would come to know the Lord and make a decision to follow Christ with their lives.  Pray for Patrick and myself(Jared) as we lead the group.  Pray for continued strong relationships to be built with the youth and for the Bible to set roots deep in the students' hearts. 

 -Please pray for all the men and women out at Venndale, as they are separated from family, going through treatment, and "turning things around".  Pray for continued positive relationships and for men and women to grow in the Lord, as well as to turn to Him if they don't know Him yet!

-With all these awesome "ministry" opportunities, pray that our families would find a  balance and stay strong and healthy. 

If you want to pray more specifically, comment below, and I'll contact you.

Thanks for your prayers, yumob! (y'all in Kriol)  We'll keep you updated.
