Prayer Update

Greetings friends, 

Thank you for your loving friendship and prayer!  We are grateful

Since last time
+Thanks for your prayers for our grant presentation, it went great and was received very well.  We should hear soon if and what amount we are awarded. 
+The evening together with our Armenian brothers and sisters went very well we hope to continue to build friendship in the days ahead

Family
+Marriage--Noleen and I are working through some deep issues in our marriage in this season and would appreciate your prayers around this, especially for the wisdom as we seek others to walk alongside us in our journey towards healing and greater intimacy with Jesus and one another

+Disney Land--We have been saving our silver change for over two years and thanks to a special gift from our friends, Danny and Evelynn Malakowsky we have enough.  We leave on Monday, please Pray for a fun time of playing and bonding as a family and we would have many God-moments throughout. 

+Future Home--We continue to ask for prayers, the owners have not yet signed the contract even though they said they would six weeks ago.   

Ministry of Reconciliation/John 17
+The March 20th Gathering went really well, one highlight for me was being able to facilitate us praying through the Coventry Litany of Reconciliation












+May 23rd we will be having a large gathering in the heart of downtown Phoenix, where we hope thousands of Christians from different traditions will gather around God's heart for Reconciliation and Unity.  Please pray for God's protection and perfect will to be accomplished









A Growing Burden
+I find my heart burdened increasingly for the persecuted Christians around the world, especially those in the Middle East and I do not know what to do?  Please pray that I will have a greater sense of what a God-honoring response can be.  I desire that Western Christians would care and act, and I know it starts with me.


Father Douglas a Catholic Priest in Iraqi Kurdistan  believes it may already be too late for Christianity to survive here. 









Love, 
Ryan and Noleen
