Dear Family,

• Last weekend’s healing service during the Lord’s Supper was awesome!

• Please pray for two little ones who are part of the SRPC family. Ella Joy Loughridge has eye surgery today in St. Louis and Brayden Strawn who was born 2-3 weeks ago with spina bifida came home from All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg yesterday!

• Would you also pray for Diane and me? We leave Monday for Malaysia (depart our house at 6:00 am; arrive at retreat center in Malaysia at 3:00 am Wednesday!) where I’ll be speaking to the Mission To The World Missionaries who labor in Asia and the Pacific (200-300 people, I presume.) Pray for Rich Greete, too, as he counsels missionaries (most of who have no access to such help) all week long. After a week in Malaysia, Diane and I will stop in Beijing on our way home where we hope to see The Great Wall, The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and sample a few delicacies like donkey meat sandwiches and fried scorpions!

• Leadership Institute is October 14 and 15. Click here to register.

• I’m preaching this weekend on Genesis 3:1-7. We’ll hear Anne Saint’s testimony. I love worshipping at SRPC.
