Request for Prayer

Hello~

1Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, "Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
 
The Bible is full of requests and instructions for prayer.  That is what we are asking of you now.
 
We are currently working towards setting up a family-oriented facility where families and individuals can come and serve others and in doing so, realize that God has called us all to share His Salvation Story with others.  A place where each and everyone that is a part has an opportunity to realize that God has created each of us with a purpose and a destiny in His Hands.  In January, we are scheduled to go on a scouting/serving trip to the Dominican Republic to look for a suitable area for this facility. 
 
Starting Monday, November 23rd through Wednesday, November 25th; we will be praying for a financial breakthrough in order to turn this vision of a facility into a reality.
Our family will be praying at 9:00 am, 3:00 pm and 9:00 pm each day for this breakthrough.  Will you join us in prayer during these three days?
 
On Thursday, November 26th, Thanksgiving Day, we will be having a special time of thanking God for supplying the finances that we are need of!
 
Specifically pray for the following:
1. We need to reach our monthly committed support level.  This is support that is pledged to be given each month. 
 
2. We also need to raise one-time gifts for our scouting/serving trip to the Dominican Republic in January.  (approx. $5000.00)
 
3. Avenues to share our vision and find others who are willing to partner with us.  Encouraging others to grasp hold of the fact that each of us has a purpose and a destiny in God's Hands is part of our vision.
 
Thank you for your willingness to join us during these next few days of prayer and thanksgiving.  Feel free to send us an email letting us know that you are standing with us during this time.  Also, share with us any ideas, thoughts or verses that God may speak to you during this time.
Blessings and Happy Thanksgiving~

Home

Home!
What does it mean to you?
Good times, good food, good friends, good memories?
Or?
Not so good times?
Probably a little of both if we were completely honest. I think it is different also if you no longer live close to home. We have not lived by our "hometowns" for almost 17 years now, so going home during this support raising trip was a lot of fun. Some things change and other things don't!
What are you doing to make your home a better place? Is it all physical touches or will there be lasting spiritual touches as well?
This is not our home! The Bible reminds us of this. Our home is in Christ. May we be reminded of this and think towards going home and help others find their way home to the loving arms of our Heavenly Father!

We appreciate your prayers during this time of support raising!

Blessings~
Debbie

Road Trip!

500 miles
Lunch with an old friend from high school
Spanish Lesson x2
The River by Gary Paulsen
Math lesson including mileage figuring and most economical ordering at Waffle House!
Journaling
Bible Reading
Intense!! Ear infection for Jesse!
Priceless Family Bonding Time!


Ned and I finished up our Lecture Phase for the School of Ministry Development (SOMD) on Thursday, September 24th. We packed up and left Orlando after dinner on Thursday night. Friday was Jesse's 9th birthday!! He enjoyed a great birthday, starting with Saints, home school PE, in the morning and ending with dinner at Sonny's! A great time with the Marine and Pastor families in between! We had a great visit and stay with the Pastor's in Vero Beach! Thanks a ton guys for housing us!

500 miles: We set out this morning from Vero Beach, Florida and ended up in Columbia, South Carolina. One of our first assignments as YWAM Orlando staff is raising our minimum monthly support. So off we go to speak to as many friends, pastors, youth groups, etc... as possible.
Lunch with an old friend from high school: Met up with a friend from high school that now lives in Jacksonville. We enjoyed a great time at lunch. It is so neat to see someone you haven't seen in over 15 years and it seem like it was just last week. God unites hearts for a lifetime!
Spanish Lesson x2: We are headed for a scouting trip to the Dominican Republic in January so we are learning some Spanish. We have a cd Spanish program so we not only listened to lessons 1-3 once but two times! We are doing our best learning!
The River by Gary Paulsen: One of Sammi's favorite books is Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Uncle Thom read it aloud to her when she was in 3rd grade and it came alive to her. She even bought herself a hatchet at a yard sale shortly after! We just re-read it a couple of weeks back and read the sequel The River today as we traveled. It did not last all 500 miles! We gotta get into the home school crate and get another book for tomorrow. At this rate, we are gonna need a couple more books before we get back to Vero Beach!
Math lesson including mileage figuring and most economical ordering at Waffle House!: Gotta have some math! I love teaching practical application Math to the kids when possible. I think it makes them appreciate learning when they realize they need it for the future.
Journaling : Hannah journaled more today than she ever has at one time. She was excited to see that there were so many trees in South Carolina!
Bible Reading: Daily manna is an essential!
Intense!! Ear infection for Jesse!: Poor little guy has quite the ear infection. He slept quite a bit today and we could all tell he just wasn't feeling great. We are praying for total healing and no pain.
Priceless Family Bonding Time!: There is nothing like riding along in the automobile to bond a family. We read, sang, listened, learned and definitely laughed together today! What a blessing to spend time as a family.
Enjoy your family and make sure you tell them you love them. Maybe even a hug or two!
Be blessed~

What are the Walkers doing right now?

We are moving!!

The last week of August, our family will be moving long-term to Santiago, Dominican Republic. We will be working with YWAM Santiago and the Martin Family! We are super excited about this transition. But also praying for wisdom as we figure out visa's, residency, what to do with our things, etc...


As always, we are praying that the Lord will use us wherever we are!



Lord, help us not to miss the things you have prepared for us to do!
