Richard and Josi Ingram

If you had no fear, what would you do for God? That was one of the questions asked during training with Pioneer Bible Translators in January. If you had no fear… But how can we live without fear? We have fear of failure. Fear of consequences. Fear of the unknown

I’ll tell you right now, Josi and I don’t live in fear. Even though things are really tight, even though our house has not sold, even though we have been arguing about stuff, even though we don’t have the money for this month’s house payment, still we don’t live in fear. However, we are being attacked by fear. It is something we struggle with all the time.

Instead, we live in God’s grace. We live in His promise to provide. We don’t understand how His provision works, but it does. Every blessing He has given us, we turn to praise. In all things we praise Him and worship Him. Even now, when we don’t know how to make ends meet, we trust Him. He will provide-He always has and He always will.

1. We really need your prayers. We need prayers for our finances.
2. We just mailed out information packets to some churches in northern Arizona asking them to partner with us, both in prayer and financially. Pray that these will be received openly and will bear fruit. We will be sending more out next week. Pray that we choose the right churches to send them to and that they, too, will bear fruit.
3. Pray that God will sell our house.
4. We may need to get part-time jobs to help our financial needs. Pray for wisdom and discernment that this would be in God’s will.
5. Josi’s cousin Diane is still recovering and her aunt Laura is traveling. Pray for continued healing and travel mercies.
6. Praise! Bill’s doctor gave him a clean bill of health! He just needs to continue resting while he heals. Also, Richard’s niece got through her exams and feels confident.
7. Praise God for bringing us a couple of new supporters. Pray for more to come alongside us in our ministry with Pioneer Bible Translators.
8. Continue praying for PBT-the missionaries, interns and teams that are in the field. Their safety and health are always of concern. Pray for their continued work in spreading the Gospel to Bible-less people.

This list is created weekly, not necessarily on the same day. If you would like us to pray for any of your concerns, please send us a note.

In Christ’s Service
