Meeting with a prayer team

Hey everybody! I just wanted to let you know that this coming Wednesday morning I am meeting with a group of ladies that are praying for me at McDonalds! Alright! I am very excited to meet them and share my ministry plans with them. They are already praying for me and don't even know me. How cool is that? Some more news. I had an excellent meeting with Steve Stewert from West Side Christian Church the other day. It is so enjoyable to share ministry plans with another person and to hear their plans as well. We really do serve an awesome God that loves His people! One more note. In just two and a half short weeks I am leaving for Colorado for 3 weeks of training. Pray that God would give me safe travel and really prepare my heart, soul, mind, and body for the ministry He has planned for me. If you have any prayer requests you would like me to pray for, please email me at mjohnson at teamexpansion dot org (replace at with @ and dot with . , this is to cut down on spam email) If you haven't received one of my prayer cards to hang on your refrigerator and would like one, you can email me your address as well and I will send you one!
All the Glory to God!!

Another Pray Request Answered!!

Thanks to all of you who were praying for my trip to Collinsville and Jacksonville. This weekend was a great trip. It was quite refreshing to spend time with some good friends and also a great time of sharing at their church. I was able to speak to the Sunday School class that my friends attend at their church, Copper Creek Christian Church. I think I encouraged some people in the Sunday school class and I was definitely encouraged by their enthusiasm. Thanks to all of you who prayed for my meeting with the missions board at First Christian Church in Jacksonville. They caught the vision for my ministry and decided to support me!! I now have 30% of my monthly budget raised! Thanks for your prayers, God is faithful and He does answer them!! I have a meeting with the head of the missions board from West Side Christian Church tomorrow. Please pray that God would speak through me at that meeting as well! To God goes all the Glory!!

Collinsville then Jacksonville...

Well, here I am at Tim and Liz Casey's house! It really is great to hang out with old college friends and reminisce about the past! I also had the opportunity to get a hold of a gentleman at First Christian Church in Jacksonville. I will be presenting to their missions board on Monday night! Please pray that God would guide that conversation as well! It is really exciting to see how God is opening doors for me to speak at multiple churches!! Thanks so much for all your prayer and support. I can't emphasize enough how important all of you are in my ministry! If you have any prayer requests please send them my way so I can pray for you!! To God goes all the glory!!

Another trip, some more prayers, another partner?

Well, this weekend I will be road tripping to the Collinsville/Belleville area this weekend. I am visiting some good friends from college, the semi newly married Tim and Liz Casey! I am also going to sit down with some of the leadership at their church and talk about my ministry in Venezuela! It is very exciting to see how God is opening doors for me to talk to people and how excited people have been so far to hear about God's plan for my life! Please pray that God would speak through me this weekend as I meet with them and cast God's vision for His ministry for me!! Thanks so much for all your prayers and support so far! To God goes all the glory!!

Prayer Request Answered!!

Thanks to all of you who have been praying for Koke Mill Christian Church to support me in my ministry! Monday night God answered that prayer! I now have 20% of my monthly budget raised! I am meeting with a gentleman from Abundant Faith Church on Thursday at 5:15pm. I am also eating breakfast with another man from Hope Evangelical Free Church on Friday morning at 6:30am. Pray that I would let God speak through me and that both of those churches would catch God's vision for the ministry He has laid out for me! Thanks so much for your continued prayers! God does answer!! To Him goes all the glory!!
