Pray for Pastor Mark Olson

Mark Olson, pastor of New Life Community Baptist Church, has asked for our group to pray for him as he will be completing an extended missions trip to the Biloxi, Miss., area shortly before our arrival in October. Mark sent this Sept. 23:

"I know I will be exhausted by then, so please pray for me as I go on this trip and prepare for the block party."

Please pause now and pray for Mark's safety while serving in the hurricane region of Biloxi and for supernatural energy as he and New Life prepares for our work in the Pikeville community. May God be exhaulted and glorified through our ministry there!

A tentative schedule for our Oct. 14-16 Mission in the Mountains has been released (below). Generally, our group will leave First Redeemer Church late on Friday afternoon, Oct. 14, and return the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 16.

REMINDER: If you haven't paid your balance of $55, please do so today by stopping by the 141 Student Ministry offices.

See you soon! --Tim
