Pivotal Month- October!

October is an extremely pivotal month for Connection Church NYC. Our Community Pastor, Larry Mayberry, and his lovely wife Lindsey are moving to NYC at the end of this month! Kari and I are super (maybe uber) excited to have them up here with us. Before they get here, there is much to be done to prepare for their move. We need you to partner with us in prayer for them, and here's how you can do that:

1. Pray for Larry and Lindsey's adoption of their son, Micah, to be done in a timely manner.

*Micah's paperwork will be filed next week, but the court date is "yet to be determined" and is contingent on many different variables as to "when" the date will be. Pray for the fficial adoption to be BEFORE October 31st, so we can keep on track! It's crucial to get Larry and Lindsey to NYC as soon as possible because of (prayer request #2)

2.  Lindsey is having a baby boy in January! (Blessings are abounding)

*Noah Kaid will be born in January, so we want Larry and Lindsey here in November and December to get adjusted to life in the new city, find their doctors, their path to the hospital, and prepare to launch this new church in the spring of 2012!

3.  We need to raise $20k by November 1st to move them to NYC, sustain them for three months, and cover all the expenses that are incurred when a family moves across the country, adopts a child, and gives birth to a child while starting a new church in the most strategic place in the world. You know... this is just the typical family move. :)

There are many other factors to pray for here. Larry and Lindsey are moving far from family and friends, so pray for them and their loved ones as they cope with "goodbyes." We are searching for their apartment, so pray for us to trust God to provide EXACTLY what we need for them...as He will certainly do. And pray for our focus to be eternal throughout this whole process and our hearts seeking to glorify Jesus alone.

"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? Mark 8:36

Larry and Lindsey are moving to NYC to be part of what God is doing here. The world has come to NYC, and all of us desire to be used of God to see the world changed by the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a battle ground unlike any other in the world. We cherish your prayers and your support.

When we reach NYC, we reach the world!
