Prayer Requests from Cedar Springs Church Plant: • For continuing favor as Jon and others meet leaders and people
in Cedar Springs. That God would reveal "persons of peace" who are excited to help or join.
• For the launch team to discern where the Spirit is at work and how to join him.
• For Jon and Sam to discern God's leading regarding a house in Cedar. They are exploring building a house in a cool spot, but need God's wisdom and open doors.
• For gifts to finish supplying the 2019 budget.
