October 1 – Pray for Merle Admire as he takes up the ministry of all the countries in which we are drilling water wells. He has a full-time job right now as a Master electrician, and we are looking to the Lord to take him on more and more at Crossway as the Lord touches hearts and raises up his prayer and support needs.

October 2 – Pray for our visit to Wayside Chapel as we present our ministry and report all that the Lord is doing through our partnership together.
October 3 – Pray for Bruce and Debbie McIntosh. Bruce serves as our Member Care Director and teacher at Pastors’ Conferences. Their home in Pennsylvania was flooded twice last month, and this has really been hard on them. Bruce will also be going to Kenya later this month to teach at a Pastors’ Conference with Dean.

October 4 – Pray for our focus at CrossWay International as we doggedly preserve our core value: to take the clear gospel message of God’s grace to the lost and hurting of the world by setting up platforms from which we can gain a credible hearing for the message that brings eternal life.
October 5 – Pray for a greater fearlessness for each of us that we might find ways to share our faith in Christ. One way is to use the CrossWay Gift Cube. If you don’t have one, check out our video and order from our website:http://gocrossway.org/about/
October 6 – Pray for Robert Messier, our General Manager, at our CrossWay office (only part-time). He is taking on more work here, as well as his mission work in Nicaragua. He and Ann are doing a great job and still facing challenges regarding their prayer and support needs. As faith missionaries, they are in the early stages of developing their resource engine to accomplish what God is placing on their hearts. Ann is also looking for additional employment for their needs. So please keep her in your prayers, too. Read their latest prayer letter athttp://gocrossway.org/wp-
