August Prayer Letter

Our Family of Three

We are delighted to introduce you to Aiden James McVicker. He was born on August 7th at 7:21 AM. He weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 20.5 inches. We are sleep deprived but doing well and enjoying our sweet gift. He brings so much joy to us and our friends and family. Thank you for your prayers for all of us!

The First Weeks

508 students hearing the Gospel at our weekly meeting. We are running out of chairs, a great problem to have! Pray each student gets involved in a small group.

Athletes that are leading Bible studies on their teams gather in our home for a leadership meeting.  Their passion for reaching lost teammates is inspiring. Earlier that week 76 athletes attended our large group meeting. All but 2 teams were represented!

You're an Adult Now

Discipleship- God’s mandate for the church to spiritually multiply. I (Davy) am so thrilled to have the privilege of pouring into the lives of guys like Jonathan who want to take next steps in their faith and begin living out their beliefs as adults as opposed to just receiving and being taught. Jonathan is a junior who is leading a small group in a dorm on campus.  There were 16 underclassmen that showed up the first week! Pray for him and the other student leaders who balance ministry and their class schedule.

Missouri Southern 

In addition to working at Missouri State this year, we also get the privilege of launching a new movement at Missouri Southern State University. The first week 25 students came out to the weekly meeting. That was exciting, but what really got our hearts going was 15 of them signed up to be leaders with Cru this year! Please pray for these men and women as we train them to launch Bible studies in the coming weeks. Davy is meeting with 10 guys to coach and equip every Tuesday. 

Prayer Requests

• The semester is in full swing. Please pray for the students that our staff have shared the Gospel with. Pray that those who accepted Christ will plug into community and those who have not made that decision will surrender their lives to him.

• Pray for our family as we adjust to a new life with Aiden. Pray the Holy Spirit empowers us to love our son and each other well. 

• Pray for Fall Getaway coming up Sept. 25-27. This weekend retreat can be life changing for students.
