Email Update 7-25-2013

Hello everybody,

Sorry for the delay. It's been about a month since I last emailed. Attached you will find our July prayer letter. (Button at the bottom of the page. Please let me know if you cannot open this.)

As a side note before I got started with the update, we have purchased a new vehicle, a Hyundai Santa Fe mid-size SUV, and thank you for your prayers and a special thanks to those churches who raised some funds to help with it's purchase. It fits all of our stuff perfectly and gives us plenty of space. More will be said about that and pictures will be included in our August prayer letter.

My final class finished Tuesday afternoon and I couldn't be happier about that. No more classes, no more homework, no more tests. It hasn't completely sunk in yet, but I'm sure it will when September rolls around and we're not in class and everyone else is. I'm not sure when I'll get my degree, but I assume it will come in the mail. Thank you so much for all your prayers!

Since we last updated you, we've been in three churches. Additionally, we will be in a church this evening in Pittsburgh, PA and another this Sunday in Glen Burnie, MD. We ask for your continued prayers concerning our support.

We know it's tedious because you'll be praying the same prayer for the next year and a half, but your prayers and support are extremely important to us and we greatly appreciate your co-labor in our ministry and hope that you'll continue fervently in prayer on our behalf. Please be in prayer for God's leading for these churches on whether or not to partner with us to reach the people of Australia.

We've been rather busy scheduling meetings as well. I haven't been keeping an exact count, but I've emailed around 150 churches in Pennsylvanina, and have made around 700+ phone calls to those churches. So far, we have scheduled 8 of those churches, filling up all of our available Sundays in March and April of next year. We will begin filling Wednesdays as we can and move month by month from there. We also have about 15 churches who are interested in scheduling us, we just need to call back in a few months when they are putting their calendar together for next year.

The Lord has been blessing our efforts and I know that your prayers have been effective. Let us not be weary in well doing. The Bible tells us that Moses went to God and interceded on behalf of the people of Israel and God heard him. James tells us that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

A pastor once told me that he has his watch set to go off at 3:33 in the afternoon. The reason for this was to remind him of Jeremiah 33:3 which says "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." I hope that you will pray with us. But more importantly I hope you will praise with us. Will you pray for God to do great and mighty things? Then let's praise God together for His amazing goodness.

In Christ,
Traver Freeman
