James and Nicky Poarch Follow our journey MATTHEW 7:9-11
“Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a
stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? If you then,
being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your
Father who is in heaven give what is good to those to ask him?”
We’re thankful to our Father who is always teaching us new things through His
Word. Recently, He has been challenging us in regards to our prayer life. At church,
the pastor is going through the Lord’s prayer, sentence by sentence. It’s been
wonderful & refreshing. It’s been challenging to think about the order in which Jesus
modeled in His own prayer: glory, kingdom, basics, forgiveness, and sin.

What Are We Doing?
This is the question we get the most since we’ve been on furlough. It’s
surprising that our days are filled daily. James is just returning from a 9 day trip
to North Carolina where he was able to share with supporting churches &
individuals. He also took a 9 hour drive down South to visit his mom who just
recently had a knee replacement. James just ended coaching Jr. High soccer.
Nicky has joined a Bible Study on Tuesdays. She is also the room mom in
Emily & Samantha’s class. She volunteers in Luke & Samantha’s class several
times a month as well.
Together we have joined a cell group that meets on Tuesday nights. Our
children are playing soccer, softball, & gymnastics. They are going to Awana
every week. Ok…it seems like we’ve become busy Americans 
but for us
enjoying these activities is a joy & a privilege & something we were looking
forward to while on furlough. God has been refreshing us through relationships
& His Word! We praise HIM who is faithful in our lives!
