09 Sep September Prayer Letter
” I f w e r e a c h t h e f a m i l y w e r e a c h t h e w o r l d ” – Bi l l Br ight
Steve & Lila Bayer
Much has happened since we last sent you an update. We spent several days traveling the last week in August. We visited Lila’s parents in southeast Kansas, saw friends in Joplin and spent time with Ansen & Dri and Andrew & Arielle in Siloam Springs while on our way to and from meetings at the FamilyLife headquarters in Little Rock, AR.
Our financial support is now over 95%! We are praising God for you and so many others who have felt led to join us in prayer and/or in financial support. We are excited as we are so close to having the support required by Campus Crusade for Christ to report to FamilyLife!
The meetings in Little Rock last week included several interviews. Our last meeting was with a member of HR who we knew was going to ask me what my (Steve) leading was re-garding one of these positions. FamilyLife would then compare that with my skills and the ministries most pressing needs to determine a specific role. The Lord led me to say that I would excitedly accept any of these positions and Lila immediately shared the Lord had spoken to her exactly the same way at exactly the same moment. I am in awe of how the Lord works out these things in our hearts.
A few days later FamilyLife let us know that Steve’s responsibilities would include working in analysis and strategy support for the opera-tions team in the Development Group, as well as an opportunity to work in stewardship education for donors and staff! Lila’s responsibilities will be de-termined after we move to Little Rock. FamilyLife is hoping that we can report for work in Little Rock on Monday, October 25 as-suming we are fully funded and pending our house sale.
Considering the difficult housing market we would be so grateful if you would plan to pray specifically for our house sale at a specific time once each week for the next month. We would be so thankful if you would commit to pray that the Lord would bring just the right person/family for our house here.
“As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.” Psalm 18:30-32
God Bless you for blessing us,
Steve and Lila Bayer
