PRAYER PARTNERSHARVEST COMMUNITY CHURCH

SEPTEMBER 2011 ISSUE #

Thank you so much for supporting us as a

prayer partner! We are very excited to see what

God has in store for our family as we step out in

faith to plant a church in Colorado. We will be

moving to the 2A town of Olathe (oh-lay-tha) to

start Harvest Community Church. Olathe is 10

miles north of the large town of Montrose.Church Planting is a declaration of war! Every

battle that has ever been fought on earth has

been over territory and control. We live in

enemy territory all the time, but when we begin

to move forward to plant churches we begin to

experience a wave of attacks and distractions

from our enemy because planting a new church

is targeting lost people and a new place to pierce

the darkness. No soldier would ever go into

enemy territory without first having a covering of

protection. One cannot begin the journey ofplanting without having prayer support. Planting

is not an administrative activity, it is a spiritual

activity. Our struggle is supernatural, and cannot

be won on our own strength or with earthly

tactics. Our struggle is not against flesh and

blood but against even more powerful enemies.

We not only fight against Satan, but against his

legions of principalities, powers, rulers of the

darkness of this age and the spiritual hosts of

wickedness in the heavenly places. OswaldChambers said, Prayer does not prepare us for

the battle; prayer is the battle Intercessory

prayer is Gods chosen way of working.

With that said, we want to give you an update and let

you know our prayer needs

We will be flying to Montrose on Friday, September23

rdto attend Church Planters Basic Training. Jeff

will be preaching for Grand Mesa Baptist Church in

Cedaredge on Sunday, the 25th. Basic Training will

start that afternoon and run through Wednesday,

the 28th

.

Olathe already has an existing church building. Inthe past few months volunteers from Oklahoma and

other towns in Colorado have been re-roofing,

painting and cleaning the building to get it ready for

a new work. Several people from the community

have stopped by to talk with the volunteers. They

are excited that the church will be re-opening. We

pray that God would continue to open doors so that

we can build relationships.

We specifically ask for prayer in regard to friends.Shannon, Katelyn, Caleb and Zoe are very excited

about the move to Colorado but have made some

friends here and we pray that they will be blessed

with good friends in Olathe, as well. We pray that

they will fit in at their new schools quickly.

Pittsburgh Childrens Hospital is performing a newprocedure called Liver Cell Transplants. They

believe this procedure will cure Katelyn and Zoe of

Crigler-Najjar Syndrome and allow them to live free

from their medical lights. Katelyns cell transplant is

scheduled for the middle of October. We will stay

in Pittsburgh for 3 weeks to make sure it was a

success. Zoes procedure will be soon after that.

Our girls will be the first CNS patients to receiveliver cell transplants. We are praying for the

doctors and for a light free future. You can read

more about the girls on their web site at

www.KatelynsLight.com.

Once the girls are released from Pittsburgh we

will begin transitioning the family to Colorado.

We pray that the timing will be right, that we

will be able to find a place to live (either to rent

or to buy), and for safe travel as we drive the

moving truck 1,050 miles.

We are working on a detailed 3 year budget toget the church plant off on the right foot. To

start with, we are needing to raise $13,500 in

order to help with the transition to Colorado and

begin ministering in the Olathe area. Our goal is

to get 15 churches and 75 individuals to partner

with us for financial support. Our immediate

need is to raise $300 to help with expenses while

attending Basic Training next week. We know

that the Lord will provide for our needs and pray

that the right people will step forward to help.

Please pray specifically for lost people in theOlathe area and that God would go before us to

prepare the way for the gospel to be spread.

Colorado is tied for the 3rd

least reached people

group in America. With a population of over

5,000, there are less than 300 people in church

on a given Sunday morning.

We are so thankful that you are willing to lift our

needs up and partner with us on this journey. We

will continue to send updates and prayer needs on

a monthly basis. Receiving periodic emails,

Facebook messages or calls from you would give us

some encouragement and would be greatlyappreciated. You are a blessing to our family!

In Him,

Jeff, Tammy & family

Ephesians 6:18-20

Olathe is located in a high desert and has

mild winters. They receive 4 to 5 inches of

snowfall at a time, which melts off quickly.

The town is famous for its amazing sweet

corn. Each August more than 16,000 people

attend the Sweet Corn Festival, which

features big name artists such as Clint Black,

Travis Tritt, Reba McEntire and The Judds.Olathe also has its own BMX bike track

which has produced several state champions.

We are very excited that God has called us to

minister to the families of Olathe!
