Show Us How to Pray

I have tried so many times to put myself in the shoes of a wife whose husband is forward deployed...and even with many new friends in this situation, I still cannot fully imagine it. Chris was gone to training last week and Hunter and I were at home alone. Just the simple things, like getting Hunter to bed, or going to the store, or getting the car fixed, seem to be more challenging. I struggled for a week, while many of these women face a year at a time with no break.

Somethings I have learned...we need each other...and prayer is the [my] lifeline.

There is a battle for the lives of the people here, and we know God has called us to stand in the gap for them. We have entered a season of needing people to come alongside us in prayer. We have asked God to show us how to pray for and how to best meet the needs of the teens and the families at Hohenfels. As you know, when you begin to pray, the enemy tries to disable your efforts. Over the past few months, God has brought us over some hurdles, and now we feel it is necessary to call on the each one of you to stand with us in prayer for the souls at stake in Hohenfels, Germany. Many of you have already been doing this, and for that we are truly thankful. You may not know their names or even what they look like, but prayer is bond that can link us. Ask God to show you how to prayer for the people here...trust me, he will tell you!
