Prayer Update

Thank you all for your continued prayers and financial support! We are so thankful for those of you who are involved in what we are being called to. We wanted to give you a prayer update for the coming month and for the near future.

Month of January:

• I (Corey) will be going through my first interview for commissioning through the Evangelical Church Missions Board on January 14th. This is the first stage to several that will take place over the next 6 months. Once through the commissioning interviews and testing, I will be officially commissioned by the Evangelical Church this coming summer. Please pray the Lord's will to be done through this, for spiritual growth for myself and for God to be glorified through it.
• Over the last few months we have been amazed at how God has worked. He has rented our home and brought up people around us to support us in prayer and financially. We have been focused on spending quality time with friends and family as we anticipate being in Honduras by September 2011. We have turned a corner so to speak, and are in full deputation mode representing our ministry. Please pray for us in January as we will be sharing our ministry with more people, classes at church, in other churches, and as we look to the next 6 months of deputation/raising support.

Next 6 months:

• Our goal for raising up our prayer team and for being fully funded is 6 to 8 months (from today). We're currently at 30% of our needed monthly support. We are planning to go to North Carolina the first week of June for intercultural training at the Center for Intercultural Training (CIT). We will spend 9 weeks there learning about culture in Honduras and how to transition to living there long term. But we need to be near fully funded prior to leaving for training. Please pray that we will be fully funded and have a solid prayer team prior to June.
• We plan to have a dinner/dessert in the next few months to share about our ministry. Please pray all the details would come together for this and that it would be put on others' hearts to be involved in this event. If you would like to help with this, please email us at cwells@caminternational.org or call us at 503-877-3701.
• We have been offered a place to live short term possibly until we leave for training in June that will allow us to raise support more quickly. It is a smaller place than our current apartment, but has space to roam outside. Please pray that we would be able to move in the next month or two and details would be worked out.
  

Again, thank you for your prayers and support! You are part of this ministry and we thank God for you! (and have a Happy New Year!)

In Christ,
Corey, Kirsten, Gavin & Garret
