Tonight was truly amazing! Lake Fork Baptist had a commissioning/ prayer service for our missionaries that will be heading out to 6 different countries between now and October. It was a wonderful time of worship and I got chills just listening as each team shared about diverse oppotunities.
After church, our Partnership Tasmania team met together to pray and plan our trip. We absolutely cannot wait to serve with the brothers and sisters at Point Christian Fellowship in Beauty Point, Tasmania. God is truly doing amazing things in their midst and we cannot wait to join them there.
We would ask that you join with us in prayer.
*Pray that God would be in control of any of the details that we may have forgotten, and would bring these details to our attention.
*Pray for our families and businesses as we are away.
*Pray for cultural exchange opportunities in the schools.
* Pray for divine opportunities to share with playgroups, womens' groups, men's groups, and teens.
*Pray that God would be pouring into our group a unbreakable bond and that he would knit our hearts with those we will be co-laboring with in Tasmania.
* Pray that the Lord would continue to add to the spiritual growth of new believers in Beauty Point and would continue to show Himself to those in the area who do not believe He is the Way.
*Pray for God's wisdom as we all prepare for our trip-- July 27th.
It amazes me that as Paul wrote letters to churches to encourage and be encouraged, our churches are exchanging emails currently to spur one another on and to work together around the world! Paul mentions in Philippians 1:3-6, this truly is a partnership in the gospel! Praises to His name!

Amen & Amen!
From the first song until the closing amen, God's presence was so amazingly real, I could only weep. I know that the true heart of God is in the speading of the truth of salvation that is found only in Christ. I am looking forward to what He is going to do in these next few months.
Hello from Beauty Point, Tasmania. Have just been given your blog address so just wanted to say a quick hello this time from Ray and Mary Hawkins. It is our son, Craig, who has been liasing with Christ and Heather.
We did hear about your commissioning service and are so thrilled that brothers and sisters in Christ so far away care so much for our little group here.
Prepartions are now speeding up and we value your prayers even more now as the invitations and inforamtion about this special time goes out into our community.
Love in Christ, Ray and Mary
Oh, and if any would like to know a little more about us personally we do have a website. Another update should be completed early next week, but it is www.mary-hawkins.com
HI, Mary from Heather Horton. I am just getting our prayer updates and am so excited about the work in Tasmania. We can't wait to serve with you and see you in person.
