WEEKLY PRAYER SHEET 12/3/2017 Emmaus Encounter Andy and Janet Kerr Andy and Janet Kerr have a new website that they are very excited about: emmausencounter.org. You are invited to check it out. The purpose is for it to be a fully functioning, user-centered site with testimonials, what to expect during a debriefing, and the application form. If you know anyone that might benefit from the service, you can send them to the website where there are details of what they can expect, where they will be staying, the cost of the debrief, and a secure place for them to apply. The Kerr s are scheduled out about three months, so it is good to let them know it will take some planning. We arrived broken, hurt, and confused by our years in ministry. Our time of debriefing helped us sort through those years and understand why we were feeling this way. We left encouraged and refreshed from Emmaus Encounter, as well as eager to continue our journey with Christ wherever that may lead us. We are very thankful for how the Lord used the Kerr s ministry in our lives. Prayer request: There is a need of a vehicle for people who come to debrief due to an ongoing flow of clients. We d love to pray for you! Update our online prayer chain by going to easthaven.org. Click resources, then prayer. Click on share your prayer request and fill out the form.
