Maddie danced in the summer program at PNB, started working at Menchie’s, and served on a mission team from Crossroads Bible Church to Spain last month. She’s begun her third year of professional training with the Pacific Northwest Ballet and is preparing for auditions with ballet companies, hopeful to secure a job next spring. Pray for Maddie to remain strong, confident, and healthy, and for a job as a ballet dancer. |

Dave and Deanne enjoyed camping with Deanne’s parents, a trip to Aspen, and time together as a family this summer. Deanne continues to work full time to provide administrative support to several ministries and disciples a group of young women. Dave is training church planters in Arkansas and Georgia this month and trains coaches in Seattle next month. He’s also influencing the development of the Global Church Planting Network in North America and building partnerships for the Puget Sound Multiplication Initiative (www.multiply.us.com).

Together, Dave and Deanne participate next month in the OC Global Alliance Leadership Conference in Brazil. Prior to the conference, Dave presents a two-day interactive coaching workshop. Over the past two years, Dave has engaged in shaping the coaching culture within OC, and this event is strategic in training coaches globally to advance the gospel.
Please pray for Dave and Deanne as they work together to accelerate church planting movements across the United States and beyond! Also pray for God’s continued provision of ministry partners who will both pray and give financially.
Grace,
