Groves Update
Prayer/Praise Report - July 2008

Praises:

1. We are grateful to break the 90% mark in committed support and look with great anticipation as the Lord brings in the remaining support ($750 per month)!
2. Praise the Lord for the many one-time gifts that have met all of our outgoing needs and will allow us to fund ministry once we arrive on the field.
3. We praise God for these final weeks in TX visiting family, friends, and tying up loose ends in anticipation for our move.
4. Our goods will arrive in Spain on July 5, a little earlier than anticipated but we are grateful our containers will be waiting for us when we arrive. Praise the Lord for folks on the ground that will assist with getting these to our home and in helping unload.

Prayer requests:

1. Continue to pray for our KY home to sell!! We would really like to sell or rent this home by the end of July so we won't have this burden hanging over us as we move back into military ministry.
2. We will be presenting our ministry to CrossPointe Community Church on July 6, as part of their 4th of July activities and appreciation for the military. Pray with us for a productive time there and for the Lord to add new supporters to our prayer and finance team.
3. Please pray for all our children in our move. Their levels of understanding about what we're doing are all different! Pray for wisdom in meeting their needs and for a smooth adjustment for them in Spain. Please pray for good friendships for our entire family.
4. Please be in prayer for us on Monday, July 21, as we fly to Spain. This will be a very difficult travel day with several layovers, all-night travel…and five children! We land in Frankfurt around 7 am (around midnight Central time), then on to Madrid, then Jerez… Total travel time will be over 18 hours.
5. Pray for our final days stateside as we seek to meet with as many friends, family, and supporters as possible before we make this move!
   In Service to Him,

The Groves Family
