JUNE 2009

The month of June is looking different than we had expected, but God has been giving us ministry opportunities right here in Jacksonville and even revealing ways that this would not have been a good time for us to be away.

We have been able to get involved in meeting some needs at our church and Jim is putting in a lot of time on music arrangements for the Mercy Street tour that starts the end of July. It has been a challenge to get all the musicians we were looking for, so some of the music has to be adapted for the changing instrumentation. We would appreciate prayer for this team that God is putting together, that all the necessary positions would be filled. Pray especially for tour leader Todd Smalley, and for Branko doing set up in Croatia and Bosnia.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT UPDATE
In recent weeks we have gained some support but have also lost about the same amount, so we are at a little over 50% of the monthly total needed. Please pray that we will stay motivated about sharing what God is doing through Proclaim and confident in His ability to provide the needed support. We also need to raise special funds for the upcoming tour, a total of $3400 for the tour plus airfare.

Other news -- A Proclaim team with THE OUTLANDERS band had the privilege of partnering with Sicilian believers in a project to help the local church launch new house churches.
