Janna Plemons (working at Orphanage

Emmanuel in Guaimaca, Honduras, August 8-

January 3): I have found my assignments: my job

is with the small boys’ house (ages 6-10). I mostly

do their laundry and get them ready for school and

meal times. While the small boys are in school, I

spend my time with the special needs. I work with

them on their coordination, learning skills, and therapy. Pray for me

when I am doing one on one time with them, that I will gain their trust

and form a relationship with them. I am also trying to seek the Lord

more here so pray that I will draw closer to God. My jobs aren’t easy,

but I have learned that when I seek God in the day my job becomes

something I love, so I am thankful for that.

Bob Spear (Ft. Mountain & Southern Haven

Assisted Living Ministries): We had 19 to attend

the Ft. Mountain Ministry on Sunday.

M&H (serving in East Asia): August has come

so quickly. This summer has

been a blur for us with many

transitions. Last week we said goodbye to two girls

who spent the summer partnering with us in

university work. We also received our two

semester workers as well. These two girls M and S

will be with us until January. They will be doing

university work along with some English

teaching. We are excited for how the Father will use them and are

thankful for the community that they bring. Many of our close friends

have come back stateside: our supervisor, another family working with

a UPG, and two j-girls. Transition and goodbyes are always tough.

Praises: We are thankful for being able to b@ptize 2 believers a

couple of weeks ago. One of those who was b@ptized two weeks ago

went back to his home town in the southern part of our country and

plans to go door to door sharing with his village. Also, our two new

girls have been able to meet and share with a lot of students in a short

amount of time. Ask for the Father to open hearts. Requests: With our

supervisor gone, our workload has increased considerably, which

means we have more administrative tasks to take care of. Ask that the

main work of ev@ngelism and d!sc!pleship would remain the focus of

our work here. This month is a little slow for us as students are in their

home towns for summer break. Ask for opportunities for us to meet

with students who stay in our city for summer break. We plan to begin

another seeker study in September, so please begin to ask the Father to

draw students and prepare hearts. Lift up our two new semester

workers to transition well into life here.

BJabc (serving in Northern Africa): Mkt.4 Group - J and two of

our female national partners will be beginning a

group tomorrow (Thurs. 13th) with some ladies that we met while the

volunteer team was here. Ask that the

Father would use that time to bring His

kingdom to the "7th Neighborhood”. Ask

that it would be a time of encouragement

and that through this lesson those who attend

will be faithful to tell the lost, teach the

saved, and group them together as church.

Mkt. Office - We are in the thick of hunting

an office in the Mkt. that can be used for both our work responsibilities

and for “main thing” work. Ask that the Father directs us to the place

that will be most strategic. Ask that as we meet in the Mkt.

tomorrow (Thurs. 13th) that He gives us wisdom and vision for where

and how it will be used for the building of His kingdom. Family - We

are retreating for a few days this weekend (14th-16th) as a family

before the kids begin their school year (Tues. 18th). Ask that it would

be a refreshing time as a family and that our kids will get lots of

attention and love from us. Also, as the kids begin the new school year,

ask that they would grow physically, intellectually, and relationally

with the Father. Storying Teams - We will begin trainings in the

countryside with the storying teams next week (Tues. 18th & Wed.

19th). During this time, B and Jo (one of our national friends) will be

leading the trainings. Ask for safe traveling, that those who attend will

be open to telling the lost and teaching the saved, and that we would

see the truth of the Son spread throughout these unreached PG’s.

National Partners - We have been asking, according to L*ke 10:2,

that the Father surround us with nationals that have a heart for the

harvest and want to work to see the kingdom established here on earth

as it is in heaven. Ask for wisdom as we have made relationships with

a number of believers in the city lately. Ask that He guides us in those

relationships and that we shepherd those relationships well. Ask that

He will reveal how we can all work together as laborers of the harvest.

Mark & Gynnette Yoho (Fourth Watch Ministry): In the

context of 1 Timothy 2:1-4, the Apostle Paul

makes the point that we should pray for all

mankind because God "will have all men to

be saved and come unto the knowledge of the

truth." It is exciting to see the energy build for

the upcoming Ignite event. When I see people

become intentional about stepping out of their

comfort zone to win souls I get excited

enough to swing over the flames of Hell on a

rotten corn stalk. Man I'm excited!! But let us not forget the importance

of prayer in soul winning. Without prayer lost sinners won't come to

the Ignite conference. Without prayer the music will have no affect on

the hearts of lost people. Without prayer Brother Jon will not have the

power to preach the Gospel. Without prayer lost sinners will not be

able to hear the Gospel. Without prayer no one will respond to the

invitation. Without prayer Ignite will just be another meeting. Please

make a commitment to step up your prayer life in these days. Our

prayer needs are as follows. This Sunday Morning I will be preaching

at Holly Creek Baptist in Chatsworth for Brother Danny Cochran.

On August 25th we are scheduled to be preaching in the Floyd County

Prison. On August 30th I will be preaching revival at Riverview

Baptist in Calhoun for Brother Jamey Hunt. On September 10-11 I will

be preaching revival at Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church in

Fairmount GA. On September 19 I will be leading a Missions Day for

our Baptist Association. That night I will be flying out to London

England for a 2 week outreach at the Rugby World Cup Championship.

On a personal note please pray for my baby sister Jennifer Yoho who is

dealing with her 4th round of breast cancer, her diagnosis does not look

good. She has made a profession of faith but shows no evidence of

Salvation. She will not be at Ignite but I pray she is saved during

Ignite. Thanks for all you do and the prayers you pray for us, we

cannot express enough gratitude.

Michelle Parham (answered the call to

vocational ministry): Thank you for praying

for me as I started school this week! Pray that I

will not become overwhelmed and that I will

manage my time wisely! Also BCM starts

back next Tuesday. Please pray that God will

college. Continue to pray with us for the Lord to connect us with the

right students. Pray that the sophomore guys that I'm spending the

majority of my time investing in to really be burdened for the lost

students around them. Thank you so much for continuing to pray!

Troy Poe: (answered the call to

vocational ministry): Please continue to pray

for me as I go to school and work. Please pray I

will continue to seek after the Lord and find

more pleasure in Him. Thank you for all the

prayers and encouragements!

Emily Payne: I am excited about this

semester at DSC, so please pray that the

excitement will

continue throughout the term! I love you

all! Thank you so much for your prayers!

Julie Parham: Please continue to pray

for me to have patience as I make some

decisions for next semester. I am going

back to school but not sure what school I

should attend. Also continue to pray for our

youth and my co-workers. Continue to pray

for my family as my grandmother is

coming to our house to stay with us. Thank you church!

Brian Jones (student at Southeastern Baptist Theological

Seminary): Continue to pray that we keep our

focus on the Lord in our jobs, and that we

understand that it is a ministry just like anything

else. I may be the only influence for God in some of

these kids lives, and Ashley may be the only stable

influence in her students lives. We are grateful for

how faithful you all are to pray for us week after

week. We miss you and love you all!

Josh Bowen (seminary student at Boyce

School/Southern Baptist

Theological Seminary): Please

continue to pray that I look to the Lord

to sustain me through balancing school

and work. It is such a privilege to be

able to attend school and the Lord has

open so many doors and taken care of

us. Hannah did indeed get the job

watching the younger boy (his age is between Rhett and Bennett). We

are thankful as this will help our finances greatly! We are excited to see

what the Lord has in store and we are taking it one day at a time. Thank

you for your faithfulness to pray and partner with us in that way!

work and that people will show up! I have faith that He is going to do

great things! I am praying for GLBC as Ignite is Sunday! I have a

feeling that God has something big planned! I love you all!

David, Kellie Crowe & Family (church planters w/ Greene

Community Church in Waynesburg): Andrew is in the hospital for some tests

so pray for him. His white cell count was

super, super low. He also has a fever,

headache, abdomen pain and such. We

have been here over night and they are

going to keep him tonight as well. There

is much blood work being done to try to

determine things. Hopefully by the

morning they will have an answer. GCC -- a lot of needed ministry for

some divorced women in our church family. We have begun some

building renovations and it looks good. We moved an outdoor sign to

the side of the building and we are planning on painting the outside of

the building next month along with some needed repairs in some

children's classrooms. Thanks for praying!

Bryan & Brittany Kelly (Boyce School/

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary): I am LOVING student teaching. Thank you all

for the prayers. God has blessed me with an

amazing teacher to learn from. Please remember

Bryan in your prayers. He works so hard and

then goes to class on no sleep. Pray that he will

get adjusted to his new schedule. Kristen Bowen (currently attending Midwestern with plans to

do the Journeyman program with the IMB): I started classes today and I have a busy schedule and

a lot of responsibilities. Please pray for me to live

on Mission with God in the midst of it all. It is

really easy for me to get tunnel vision and just focus

on completing the tasks of the day and not taking

the opportunities God provides to worship Him and

obey Him. I have a praise that is sort of strange, I

am an RA and I am learning that those late night "my toilet is

overflowing" calls are great opportunities to connect with residents and

live out the gospel before them, when I lovingly do all I can for them.

Pray for me to make the most of the many opportunities God wants to

use me to bring glory to Himself! Thomas, Paige, Elizabeth & Jacob Queen (our

missionaries in South Africa): From Paige: I am studying hard in

my Zulu class. My teacher has

helped me translate much of the

vocabulary I like to do on house

visits. I sent her my testimony and

she has agreed to translate it for me.

By the end of the class I should be

able to read anything written in Zulu

so I plan to read it on house visits

until I get it memorized. Requests:

Pray for me to learn the language well. This brain doesn't memorize as

well as it used to but I am working hard. Pray for Thomas' traveling

mercies. Jacob has his last final tomorrow in Physics so pray that goes

well. We really appreciate all the church does to help us proclaim the

gospel here. Elizabeth loves Lee! That is such

an answer to prayer for me.

Chad Keeter (Navigators Ministry,

Staff): We had our first worship night of the

semester last night. There was a great turn out,

and it was encouraging to reconnect with

students and to see new students interested in

deepening their walk with Jesus while in

For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring

salvation to the ends of the earth.”
