In the midst of moving into a new home and coping with all the changes that come with a third pregnancy, our partner Kirstie Parker has managed to amass a group of 15 women to form a “How to Love Your Neighbor Without Being Weird” Bible Study! Actually, she’s hosting TWO studies, one during the day and one for working moms at night!

Naturally, all these new adventures leave Kirstie overwhelmed sometimes, but she has also seen God work in miraculously personal ways. Obviously, a big obstacle was overcome by the generous donations of so many to provide books for this group. Women from all over the United States and even Canada donated books to this group, and Life Church Ohio generously covered the international shipping!

God also allowed chance encounters in a grocery store or major life events to bring Kirstie in contact with women who now are excited to attend this group.

These interactions prove that God is up to something BIG in Honiton! When women unite to reach their neighbors with the love of Jesus… well, we wait in expectation and anticipation to see what God does!!

We know from experience that Satan feels feel threatened by her obedience.

You may not be able to fly to Honinton to help Kirstie, but she needs an army of committed brothers and sisters to join her in ministry in prayer. Should you commit to this, I promise, you will see miracles happen and be blessed in the process!

Please join us in praying for these specific requests:

1. That God protect Kirstie’s health and the health of her family for the duration of the study
2. That any details from child care to having enough chairs would be resolved easily
3. That the Holy Spirit emboldens Kirstie and encourages her as this is her first time hosting a study like this
4. That the Holy Spirit will unify these dear women with a singular desire and protect their group from discord, gossip, or discouragement
5. In the name of Jesus, that He will thwart Satan’s every attempt to render Kirstie discouraged or ineffective
6. That God will prepare Kirstie and these ladies to receive His truth with humility, joy, and excitement

Thank you for your support; you a huge source of encouragement to us and to Kirstie. Several times, when she has encountered an obstacle, she is able to God working through a group of people she has never met, and her fire is rekindled.
