Monthly Prayer Letter


August Update

 

“The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.” Psalm 121:5

 Greetings Saints

Thanks for your continued prayers and support. God has been keeping us and we have been resting in His shade. God continues to sustain us as I focus on recovering. I have had physical and occupational therapies at home this month. My doctors have now recommended outpatient therapy in August. I continue to praise God for my healing and God's work in my body!

August 4th -15th is Challenge Ministries Destination Cruise. Our speakers are Nate Bramsen and Pierre Cannings. They are part of our group of 36. We have young adults traveling from throughout the US to join us on this cruise. The focus of the sessions is on reclaiming their generation for Christ.  Join us in prayer for: safety and protection, God’s word to be preached boldly, hearts open and challenged to receive God’s word, opportunity to share the gospel, and God to be glorified!

Jivin our summer intern will be leaving is at the end of August. He has been a great help to us. Along with assisting me with some transcriptions, he has been enlisted to help with another transcription project for a book of sermons from our trip from Israel last fall. (We will keep you updated when that book will be ready for purchase.) Jivin has also been assisting me with exercises assigned by the therapists. He also travels with Stephane to my appointments. Jivin returns to NY and will continue his studies to become a speech therapist. We praise God for his provision for having Jivin with us this summer. Please pray for Jivin that God will continue to grow his faith and love for the Lord.

Updates: Justin started a new job July 31st. Halley, Nelson’s wife continues to search for a part time job. Please continue to pray for them as seek to glorify God in their future places of employments.

Challenge Ministries’ board of directors have been a great support to us. Many have travelled to Detroit to visit me as I recuperate. Other have assisted in raising and managing funds for me and the ministry. We ask from now on that all funds for the ministry to be written out to “Challenge Ministries Outreach” and sent to Challenge Ministries Outreach 4730 Hittner Point  Eagan MN 55122. Contact us through our contact page if you need information regarding electronic giving.

Thanks again for your prayers,

 

Dwight Knight
