God has blessed us with a baby! We love all of our friends and now ask for your prayer support. Meredith has to change jobs, please pray for her success. Please pray for me in regards to trusting God in this very scary time (for me), financially speaking. I am super scared about the finances and am just shocked at how joy-filled my wife is during this time. Please pray that God protects me from financial fear, that I may enjoy the joy this new child brings. Please pray that God will empty Meredith and I as we raise this child. We want to give this child right back to God, knowing He can us our child to spread Jesus' love to this world. As this world gets harder and harder to live in, it will take stronger, love-centered Christians to spread the Good News!
I love our baby already....let's pray for this child's future!

Prayer
Please pray for us. We have so many things going on right now.
*Mentoring - Praise the Lord - Men are stepping up and willing to take part in the lives of other men! The Lord has opened other doors to carry this ministry over to high school students as well. Please pray that the Lord will give us wisdom and direction in this process.
*Adopt-a-School Initiative - Daniel and I will be going to sit in on a meeting about churches becoming involved in tutoring children in underprivileged neighborhoods. This is mostly to gather information for others, but keep it in prayer! You never know what the Lord will lead you to do!
*Refugees - As Daniel stated in his last post, this summer we are expecting hundreds of refugees to come to Jacksonville. They come with nothing but the shirt on their backs. Be in prayer for them, and for their needs. Pray that the Lord will raise up people from all over our church to sponsor them and provide for their physical needs as well as their spiritual needs.
*On a personal note - we are still trying to sell our house on Holly Bay. Please pray that we will continue to be at peace and not worry because the Lord is good! He will provide for our needs. Pray that the right person will come along to purchase it and pray that we will be in a position to be a blessing to that person or family.
Thank you all for looking in this from time to time. Please leave a comment so we know you were here!!!!
We love you all, God bless!

A Reminder From My Friend, Dave
“The way we came to know love was that he laid down His life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If someone who had worldly means sees a brother in need and refuses him compassion, how can the love of God remain in him? Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” I John 3:16-18
There is so much work to be done. I feel like we have just scratched the surface. We have the homeless of TRM and now we are looking at helping literally HUNDREDS of refugees that are coming into Jacksonville this summer. Please drop me a post. I need to know who wants to be a part of this. I will give more details as the time gets closer.
On June 16th we (just the guys) are going to pick up men from TRM and take them to the FBC "Transformation" conference. Please e-mail me at bauedv@jea.com if you want to participate in that.
One last thing, if you believe that God is calling you to leadership, let me know and I have plenty of things to do. We need men willing to step up in leadership.
