September 2022

Dear Fellow Laborer in Christ ,

We are very excited and blessed to finally be able to write our first prayer letter to you! By God’s grace, we were

able to start on the deputation road on September 07, 2022. We are blessed to have a busy schedule. We started

our deputation journey in Newark, New York, with Lighthouse Baptist Church pastored by Sean Kelly. It was a

blessing to be with them at their first Missions Conference!

God has blessed us by providing safety on the road and in the air! Since the beginning of deputation, we have

met amazing people that love the Lord and missions. We have been with several churches in different states in

September. We were with Heritage Baptist Church in Woodbridge, VA, for their Missions Conference, West

Jacksonville Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL, for a Midweek service, and Central Baptist Church and Victory

Baptist Church in Jacksonville on a Sunday service. To end the month, we were a part of Faithway Baptist Church’s

missions conference in Philippi, WV.

We have seen the hand of God over us during this time. We already have some stories from this deputation

journey. Naya was playing on a seesaw and had a bit of an accident. She got off the seesaw, and the other child

jumped on the other side. The seesaw hit her nose, and we thought her nose had broken. We were able to get it

checked out, and Praise the Lord, it did not brake, but just bruised! He is just excellent and gracious in protecting us

from harm. During our time with Faithway in WV, we discovered that our Pastor’s brother was affected by

Hurricane Ian. Please pray for Pastor Jay Sheppard and Tricity Baptist Church in Port Charlotte, FL.

We are grateful for your prayers for us as we continue deputation! We are humbled to see what God is doing in

our lives. We hope we have been able to be an encouragement to you through this letter!
