Thurman Prayer Requests

Dear friends who pray, this update is a little longer, we appreciate your love and prayers!

Last week we had a great trip to Disney Land (our first and only:), their was a lot of roller coaster riding, a few meltdowns, lots of laughs and photo opportunities with Disney characters.

​Thanks also for your prayers for the luncheon with the Catholic Bishops.  This was our second lunch in the past few months and believe God is forming friendship and growing partnership in the purposes of unity and reconciliation.

Family

Ethan--- We have been working hard to find ways to support him with some of his learning and social challenges.   We have been working with a psychologist and doing a lot of testing over the past few months.  He has recently been given a diagnosis that has led to  fruitful meetings with his teachers, we thank God that he is at a school that is very supportive.  Pray for us as we continue to navigate this with Ethan, he has such a tender heart.  Please continue to pray for Ethan and for us as we shepherd his heart.  

Marriage--As I mentioned last time Noleen and I are beginning to meet for some counseling, we have an important meeting tomorrow night, we appreciate your prayers around this

1322 W. Monroe House--Nothing new to report…still waiting and trusting

Antioch Network (AN)

Things are going really well, would appreciate prayers around my work in helping to create a new AN website that articulates well our history and our future.  Also prayer for wisdom to help create best ways to weave the various AN ministries together 

Apprenticeship to Jesus (A2J)

Please pray for an important vision casting meeting May 16^th.  Also one of the things that we feel God is leading us to do more is to create resources that will bless others, we are in the midst of helping publish a book that comes out of the ministry to the homeless.  

John 17

Please pray for our upcoming May 23^rd event and consider joining us.  We are expecting thousands to attend this meeting.  Pope Francis will be giving a special message for this Gathering (video message).  I will be serving as the Master of Ceremony with another younger leader.  I have never done this in such a large gathering and will be working with a translator which I don’t have a lot of experience with, would appreciate your prayers  

with love and gratitude, 

Ryan and Noleen
