2nd Missionary Journey:

On December 10th, John and Octavia started their second missionary journey, which began in Nepal, and has now landed them in Thailand. Please pray that they will be super sensitive to the voice of the Lord in guiding them throughout the rest of their journey. Please pray that where God guides He will also be faithful to provide.

We have recently lost our backpack containing our video camera and our digital camera. We use this equipment to update our website so please pray for continued protection for us as well as our gear that the Lord has entrusted to us.

• Pray for boldness, confidence and discernment in carrying out the ministry God has called us to in each location.
• Please pray for wisdom as we come into contact with many pastors and ministries who are in need of financial support and giving where the Lord prompts us.

Our Marriage:

As many of you know John(JL) and Octavia(OJ) were married on August 14th (see news for pictures). We know one of the enemies tactics is to attack the marriage so please pray for the following:

• God would continue to strengthen and protect our marriage
• We wouldn't drop our guard and allow the enemy to get a foothold on any aspect of our marriage
• God would give us supernatural discernment regarding the spiritual, emotional, and physical condition of each other and that we would immediately seek Him for His guidance, protection, and peace
• Continual and effective Godly communication
• For God to show us how two lives can become ONE.

Octavia’s brother in motorcycle accident:

Please Pray for Octavia’s oldest brother, Destry 31 years old. Destry recently got in a motorcycle accident and suffered a concussion, broken arm and back pain as a result. When he went to the hospital they ran cat scans and the Dr. told him that if he hits his head one more time it might cost him his life. This is the 5th concussion he has had over previous years. From the tests they also found a cyst on his brain. As of now they say that it is benign and not cancerous but they will monitor it and run more tests in 3 months. He has suffered impaired speech, memory loss, scrambling numbers, and impaired vision from this.

He doesn’t have insurance and so the Dr. bills needless to say are pretty steep. Please pray for him, his wife, Carla and their children Andy, Alex and Alyssa. John and I are praying that he will dedicate his life to Jesus and this would be his wake up call because he seems to ignore numerous other ones. Last year he got into a dirt bike accident and severed his femur and came close to puncturing his main artery. Anyhow I know God loves him even more than me and that’s an awful lot. So please keep him in your prayers. He’s one of the greatest guys I know apart from my other 2 brothers, Justin & Cody who also follow in his lead.

Team Prayer Requests:

Please continue to keep our India team in your prayers as they make the transition back to the states. They are in need of your prayers now more than ever before because we know the enemy wants to steal their experience from them and erase what God has done in their lives. However, we know that the work of the Lord cannot be undone so we pray that it will be utilized on a daily basis in their life with full power and authority in the name of Jesus Christ. Pray also that they will not become comfortable in their homeland but that they will have a break through everyday with new vigor and zeal for making their new mission field their new challenge. We invite and encourage you to send them an email, even if you don't know them and let them know you are praying for them. After all, this is what the body of Christ is for. God Bless you abundantly!
