An Important Prayer Request from Jack Mitchell

Hello Pastor Bob,

It was good to talk with you the other day! We thank the Lord for giving
us a safe trip back home from BJ and now we are frantically packing for
our ministry to Cameroon, leaving Wednesday.

Jennifer and I pray for you all at Morning Star Baptist Church regularly!
We appreciate the ministry there very much and we are thankful to the
Lord for bringing us all together in service to Him.

Thanks for being willing to have us with you on Sunday, March 25th. We
will plan to arrive on Saturday afternoon the 24th, but since we will be
driving out this time, we could come earlier if there was any other way
we could contribute to the ministry there. Just let me know.

We would appreciate your prayers for our ministry to Cameroon as there
are still a few unresolved issues, as it seems there always is. We were
hoping to have some additional paper work to help us through customs, but
that has not arrived. We received a note from one of the missionaries
there who recently took the same flight we are taking and related several
difficulties associated with it. As always, we are trusting God to go
before us. He is a faithful God and He is in control! We rest in that.

As you may remember, Grace Dental Mission recently celebrated 10 years of
ministry (which is surely another evidence of the faithfulness of God).
There is a reporter from our local newspaper who attends our church who
has written an article related to the anniversary service for the paper
which will be published today. We have not seen it, but we are trusting
it will honor God and be used of Him in a great way. My unsaved family
will surely read it, but just as surely, won't even mention it to us. We
pray, however, that as other people comment on it to them that there
hearts may be softened and more open to the gospel.

Well, thanks again so much for your kindness to us and for your much
needed prayers.

Yours in Christ,

Jack
