At the beginning of this year I shared with the church five prayer requests that God had put on my heart for this year. I would like to share them with you and ask you to kindly pray for these requests with us. They are...

1. Growth -- both numerically and spiritually

2. Leadership -- specifically for a worship leader and someone to help                               us reach the youth on the reservation.

3. World outreach -- that we can do our part in reaching the world for 
                                 Christ by supporting more missionaries. Our                                            church currently supports 11 missionaries around                                    the world. Our goal is to have a missionary on 
                                 every continent. 

4. Community outreach -- That God would open doors and give us                                                  greater outreach into the Big Cypress                                                        community.

5. Pastor and Mrs. Payne -- That God would use us for His glory. 

What a great month it's been here at Big Cypress New Testament Baptist Church. We kicked off the month with the Dominion Trio. It was good to have Marvin and Nora join them for a few songs. The church was filled with people from a couple of the reservations, the campground, and Missy was here too. 
     Then we had our revival with Randy Perry beginning with Friend and Family day. The church was full of people for every service. Many came to the altar for prayer. Mike and Mary came about a week before the meeting and we sang at the campground, they also led the singing to open each service during our revival. We can see God working in our church as we keep growing for God's glory.
