Discipleship House
We are making many much-needed renovations to the Discipleship House. We are grateful for our partnership with Operation Blessing. They generously donated enough hardwood flooring to do the entire 3rd floor of the home. We are most of the way finished with this project. It was hard to keep carpet clean in this very high traffic living environment. We are also about half way done with the new shower room. This turned out to be quite a massive job because we found many problems during the demo phase. The entire floor was unlevel as it used to be only a porch. We had to remove everything down to the joists and sister them. We also had to replace an exterior wall beam. We installed a huge capacity water heater for just this shower room as 8 men will be using it daily. We also did all of the plumbing for the new shower. We still need to install an entire sub floor, shower and tile.

Baptism
We had two gentlemen from our discipleship program get baptized in the freezing cold Atlantic Ocean. Please continue to pray for these men as they commit to going deeper in their faith.

Praise God for John Savola braving the cold to stand beside the men he disciples as they get serious about their walk with the Lord.
Easter
If you know any family in a financial struggle, we have quite a few Easter Baskets available. We know some families have a tradition of giving Easter Baskets to their children and if they hit hard times, we don’t want the children to feel as if they were not good enough or have somehow been forgotten. We used some of the leftover toys from Christmas and added candy and faith-based treats. Please reach out to us if you know someone that would be blessed by this new part of our ministry.
Building Excitement
We are excited about all the amazing things the Lord is doing at Outreach for Christ. We are thrilled about some new things we will be able to share with you over the next couple months. If you have free time, we would love for you to hang with us for a bit and see what we do every day so you will better know how to pray for us. We keep a very busy schedule and run in many different directions every day. We could always use volunteers that could help take these men to various appointments while holding them accountable and allowing no compromise. Surely the harvest is plenty but the workers are few. If you are retired and have some free time you would be willing to share, we would be so thankful.
Ministry Prayer Requests
1. Please be praying for our health. We were unable to get a prayer letter out for this month due to an illness going through the ministry house.
2. Please pray for God to renew our strength and continue to give us the ability to persevere through every obstacle.
3. Pray for our family. We are about to have two of our sons join the military on the buddy system so we will only have our eleven year old left under our roof. This is quite an adjustment for us as we are a very close knit family.
4. Please pray for upcoming partnerships with the ministry as we are branching out to do more locally and abroad.
5. Pray for the multiplication of our finances and for many new donors to come alongside us in Jesus’ Name!
Banquet!
We have not found a location for the banquet. We are in need of a facility that can accommodate 200 people. Please help us out with this. It has been a year now and still no location. And we have not had a banquet in over three years.
