1/17/2005 (or 17.1.05)
Welcome to the year 2005!!! We hope you had an enjoyable holiday season.
As we go into this new year, Krista and I are continually amazed at how God is faithful to answer prayers. Some of the prayers He answers patiently like “When are we going to get to Europe?” but others He answers very quickly – like when we got into our car recently and it would not start. After several turns of the key, all we heard was “CLICK”. Then out of the back seat, we heard our 4 year old Alex saying with a soft voice – “Dear Jesus, please make our car start”. With the next turn of the key the engine rev’ed right up. I turned and looked at Alex and with a contented smile on his face, Alex said “Yeah, God hears me”. Child like faith – do you have it?

We have a couple of specific prayer requests right now:

-We pray that the Lord would provide Courtney with the right contract job. This position would need to have the right balance of income and the necessary flexibility for us to continue to prioritize meeting with potential ministry partners.

-We have had an amazing time meeting with some initial ministry partners. We pray for continued progress here.

-We have a bit of work to do to get our house on the market this late spring. Pray for diligence and priorities to balance ministry, work and family time.

We take very seriously our ministry to you, and we faithfully lift up before the Lord your needs as we become aware of them. Please e-mail us with specific ways we can pray for you and your family.

In His Love,
Krista and Courtney Roes (Alex too)
