I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf . . . (Romans 15:30 ESV)
In three weeks we will gather to celebrate God’s Good Design in Disability at Bethlehem’s North Campus. It is a weighty and ultimately beautiful subject. But it requires us to constantly fight against the tide of culture and, I must admit, my own sinful desires for an easy life.
I’m praying that God will change peoples’ lives through this conference – that their heart eyes (Ephesians 1:18) will be opened, maybe for the first time, to who Jesus is. And for those who already know God this way, to be encouraged and emboldened in their faith. Would you pray with me about that?
Would you also pray for our speakers? They carry a joyous and heavy responsibility to help us see God and his word more clearly on this subject of disability and suffering.

Please also pray for our events staff and volunteers. I am so encouraged by their faithfulness in attending to details for our sake, and there are hundreds of details they are attending to these days!
Please pray, and then let us see what God might be pleased to do!
Praying for you guys and the conference. I really wish I could be there in person!
Although we aren’t able to attend we are SO encouraged that this is happening!!! …and pleased to get to pray for it!
