Missio Colonia | Kevin and Kathi in Cologne, Germany

We could use everyone's prayers right now. Kathi and I are having a tough time jump starting our support raising here in Ohio. The first couple of weeks back home, we decided to take it easy and rejuvenate a little bit. Well, the rest period is over now and we're ready to really tackle what's before us. The difficulty is that we are not sure how to proceed from here. We started making appointments a few weeks ago, but those got canceled because of the recent blizzard and a flu virus that's making the rounds in the community. Now our efforts to meet with people are being frustrated by busy schedules. All the while Kathi and I are not doing much but hanging out at home, which causes us to feel guilty for not moving forward.

We're finding that support raising in a rural context is much different than doing it in an urban or suburban context. Everything moves at a slower pace, and people want to develop that relationship before talking about ministry. This is all great on one hand, but on another, we still feel an urgency to get this task completed. So, please pray that God would be opening up opportunities to share this vision we have to individuals and churches around here.
