lives. We are so very grateful for your pr@yers for these friends. Please continue to ask that the father would give many more the same ears to hear. Praises: We praise God for the three new children he welcomed into his kingdom this month! In July, two recent college graduates will come to our city to work with us and university students during the fall semester. H's brother, Will, graduated from high school this month! We are so proud of the G0d-fearing man he is becoming. Requests:

Please lift us up as we continue d!sc!p1ing these new believers. May they grow in knowledge and in love of their S@vi0r.Recently during our language classes, we have begun to learn sp!ritual language. Please ask that we would learn well so that we may share the truth in the heart language of our people.

Bryan & Brittany Kelly (seminary couple at

Boyce School/Southern Baptist Theological Seminary): Thank y'all for the prayers! Pray for our

summer classes. Classes are getting busy, and I started a 2nd job this week. I (Brittany) will be working a lot of hours this summer, so please pray that I can stay on top of my school work. And also, that I would set aside time to spend in the word and also Bryan. Life is going to be tough the next few weeks not seeing much of each other. But, we continue to trust the Lord and his plan.

Sarah Blevins (Tabitha Ministries, South

Africa: May 14-July 25, 2015): Last week we took

the toddlers out to McDonalds. Mariam was more interested in sucking the ketchup off her fries then her hamburger, but they were all so happy! This team has been great, although pretty crowded. Friday night we are attending a Secret Church with Hilton Baptist and the Sweet Waters Bible study that Thomas and Paige have. I am super excited about that and the different people groups coming together. I am missing GLBC

but am still so excited I am here.

Brian Jones (seminary student at Southeastern Baptist

Theological Seminary): Ashley and I are very

excited about our next stage of life praying as we continue our wedding plans and we focus everything on bringing God glory. And just like with everything we come across, pray that we continually look to our Father and not let any of the busyness of life distract us from that. Thank you again for remaining faithful to us and loving us like you do. It is so good to be able to share what the Lord is doing in both of our

lives.

Kristin Bowen: I am

looking for a part time job to go along with the internship I started this week. Please pray for me as I transition.

Chandler Coker (accepted with Life Action to

travel with a team and serve in children’s ministry): Week two is already underway and I can say it

has been a blast working camp. For the next six weeks, I’ll be here in Michigan, but in July I will return to Dalton and go to school. Please pray for me because I've been given the opportunity to sit in on sessions for camp this week. Pray also for base camp this week as they will be

out of a teacher. Thank you for your prayers. It’s been awesome serving here at camp.

Troy Poe: (answered the call to vocational

ministry): Last Sunday God spoke through me and

many seemed to be challenged by the Lord's message. Thank you for the prayers as I was very nervous. The youth night Saturday went really well. We did not have many show up but for those who did, we were able to build a better relationship with them. This Friday a team of us will be leaving to do a VBS at an Iranian Church in Santa Cruz. Pray the Lord will use us to further His kingdom there.

Chad Keeter (Navigators Ministry, Staff ): Thank you so much for your prayers! God has continued to provide for my needs in the coming year. Please continue to pray with me for the Lord to completely provide my funding needs. I'd also love for you guys to pray for an upcoming trip that I'm taking with the Navigators. From June 16-26 I will be in Puerto Rico with a group of 5 other guys. We will mostly be doing evangelism on a couple of

college campuses on the island. Please pray for divine appointments as we share the gospel with the university students there and for our safety on the trip. I'm so grateful for your partnership!

Julie Parham: Please continue to pray about Vacation Bible School

coming up! I cant wait to see what the Lord will do in the hearts of the little ones! I have one week of class left! Thank you for praying for me as I have had

a busy and slightly stressful week. Continue to lift up Shyaine (girl that works at Panera) and also my co-workers. One of my co-workers (Chelsea) lost her father yesterday so please lift her up in your prayers. In about a week in a half we will be going to youth camp. I am looking forward to helping! Please pray for our youth and their hearts. I love y’all! I am so blessed to have y’all praying for me!

Emily Payne: I would like to ask you all

to pray for VBS coming up next week! Please pray for the salvation of those who don't know Jesus! It should be a fun week for the kids, and we are looking forward to it! Thank you so much for praying!

Josh Bowen (seminary student

at Boyce School/Southern Baptist Theological Seminary beginning fall): My request is that you would

come along side us in prayer that I, as well as Hannah, will remain focused on the Father himself, and not the world around us. Please pray against distraction and temptation from the evil one, as well as whole hearted trust that He will provide our every need.

M&H: I write this with joy in my heart as I think back to a Friday night earlier

this month. We had come to the end of our seven week seeker study, and M asked each friend how they were going to respond to the things we had shared with them. To our great joy, three responded in f@!th. This message truly is the power of the father to save! Since that time, we have continued studying with them, walking through the basics of what their decision means for their

Thomas, Paige, Elizabeth & Jacob Queen (our missionaries in South Africa): Hope the sun is shining

there today. We are starting to get winter weather here with a low of 36 on Friday. Burrrrrr…It is pretty cold when you don’t have central heat in the mornings. The 11 man Birchman Baptist team from Texas is here this week. They are such a

blessing. The men are fixing many broken things around the center. They assembled 6 donated bookshelves so now we have room for donated library books to be placed. The women are helping in the school. They are enjoying their one on one spiritual mentoring with our kids in the afternoon. Pray for that to be effective. We go out into the community for house visits on Fridays so pray those are fruitful for the lost or hopeless patients. We are so encouraged this week. Right now almost 120 folks are signed up for Secret Church Bible study at Hilton Baptist. We were only expecting 13-20 people when we brought up the idea with the pastor here. God just blew us away with the interest from the people of the Northdale community and in Hilton. Also Thomas had the brilliant idea to have a few interns start a kid’s bible club time while we teach the teen bible study on Tuesdays. Yesterday we had 36 kids show up! What an awesome problem to have HA! We met with two Christian counselors the last two weeks who are advising us with how to institute discipline with the Tabitha kids and how to educate our kids to hard truths in their lives. Pray for our meetings as a staff next week to be fruitful, productive, full of godly wisdom, then for follow through on agreed upon ideas. As always, pray for salvation for our kids here and on house visits. Last week, one of the young patients was so down and depressed. It was a real struggle talking to her about the things of God. Pray for Noxolo to be encouraged and use the Bible we left her to draw near to God in this time and grow spiritually. Sarah is very content so far in her internship. She is so very helpful. She helps with so much administrative work with me. She does two reading groups as well. She especially loves helping kids in math during homework time. The toddlers are her favorite, especially Aphile who is ALL attitude. Elizabeth passed all 5 parts of her GED last week. She got her diploma electronically on Sunday. Please pray for us to figure out how best to get this to Lee University so she can enroll soon. Jacob is doing well. He gets his braces adjusted next week. Please pray this does not trigger another migraine. Well that’s the scoop. We continue to covet your prayers for our family and the ministry work here. We know without the Lord and His wisdom and power, we can do nothing. However, with Him all things are possible.

Bob Spear (Ft. Mountain & Southern Haven Assisted

Living Ministries): We had 22 to attend the Ft. Mountain Ministry on Sunday.

BJabc (national partners): Story Teams #1 - We are

wrapping up the 2nd week of the Storying Workshop this week. Ask that each language team would continue to craft stories in a way that is true to scripture. Ask that

they will continue to grow in their effectiveness to share stories with their people. Ask that we would be wise in how we move forward with them in the coming months. Story Teams #2 - We have worked these two weeks to cast vision to these teams of how they can effectively tell truth to unbelievers, teach truth to believers, and multiply di$ciples. Ask that we would equip and empower them for this task so that they can better get the Word to their peoples and that we can see His Kingdom come among their peoples in the countryside. POP - We will be pushing next week in the Mkt. and surrounding neighborhoods with our national friends to prepare the fields for a stateside team of volunteers that will be arriving in the coming weeks. Ask that we will find people of peace

that will be open to the Truth of the Son. Ask that these POP will open their homes to begin the process of making di$cipels that tell, teach and multiply. Stateside Partners - Ask for open communication with the M Committee’s of our partnering fellowships as we seek to involve the gifts and talents of the local body in the global work of the Father.

Mark & Gynnette Yoho (Fourth Watch

Ministry): Thank you Grove Level, for by your prayers

we are able to have a greater impact in ministry. I am currently in Ocean City, MD involved in an outreach at High School Senior week. I and 7 other street evangelists are distributing Gospel tracts, holding Gospel signs, witnessing, and preaching on the boardwalk. The Gospel signs are a new witnessing

tool designed to provoke people to conversation, and they are working. We have had many Spiritual conversations with people who just walk up to us to ask about our signs. The night preaching with the paint board and black light is going well also with good crowds hanging around to hear the messages. Please continue to pray for this outreach. We will work today and Thursday, and then I will travel home on Friday. On Saturday, Gynnette and I will travel to Cumming ,GA to share the Gospel and balloons at Grace Baptist. Please pray for people to be saved. On Sunday I will be preaching at Fellowship Baptist in Plainville, GA. Finally, Gynnette and I will be sharing the Gospel at the JFest in partnership with Run For GOD. We will be using another new Gospel tool, the Bible knowledge board. Thanks for your prayers and support. They help keep us on the cutting edge of ministry. We value your partnership in this ministry for the Gospel's sake.

Michelle Parham (answered the call to

vocational ministry): I've had a roller coaster of a

week! I had lots of training, chores and information thrown at me. At first I was super stressed and worried, but as the week went on, I became very excited. God has been my peace through it all in a variety of ways! Tomorrow I will get my first camper, Trey. I would appreciate if you would pray with me that I would lean on Christ in every situation, that I would show Trey

God's love, that I would not have conflict with other counselors, that I would get enough sleep, make time for my quiet time and make the most of everyday!

David, Kellie Crowe & Family (church planters w/ Greene Community Church in Waynesburg, PA): I am currently counseling two

different men who are each "leaving" his wife. One family in the GCC family and the other in the community. There is much junk and sin involved. Only one wife is a professed true follower of Jesus, so I am dealing with unregenerate men. Pray for me to have wisdom and boldness and carefulness in not burning any bridges with them. We also have a lady and her 4 children living in our building (since December). She has agreed to go to the Vision of Hope home in Lafayette, IN to get help, finish her GED and learn basic life skills. Pray as we seek to find homes for her children from within our Church family for the next 6 months. For us personally, we are juggling some serious work deadlines, which cause stress and friction. Pray that we would all love Jesus with our words and actions and thus love each other.
