Well.....

We are winding down the school year. I have one more project to complete this week and Rachel is holding down the fort at the counseling center. We would like to thank everyone for all the prayers. Things are looking up. We are on the look out for Mark to find a job for the summer; hopefully here on campus. Nevertheless we are praying for the Lord's guidance as to where He would like to have me work this summer. More updates soon...........

Bringing You Up To Speed

Well........
Since our last newsletter sent out as the Behr's Trails, a great deal has happened. I survived the first semester with a 3.419. For those of you who have known me over the years that is astronomical. I say it is the work of the Lord. Rachel has been doing pretty well with her job at the Counseling Center here on campus as the receptionist. We are very thankful that the Lord has provided for us in this area.
This semester has been far different than the first. The Lord has drawn us to get more involved in church after taking a short break from doing ministry last semester. We have gotten involved in the Prayer team at church. On certain Sundays, Rachel and I pray through an entire worship service, calling on the Holy Spirit to be present with our pastor, the praise band, and the people who are worshiping. This is a ministry that we feel is greatly needed. It sparked from a retreat we did back in January where we prayed over a teen event. We prayed with some of the Bands like Family Force 5 and with the people who were sharing the message. It was quite the experience. This has prompted us to bring this prayer ministry to our church along with a committed group of prayer warriors who are dedicated to lifting up everything to God in all situations. We have been met with a lot of opposition from the enemy as we have started this.
Rachel's stomach problems have increased. We think it is her gallbladder. Please be in prayer that the Lord will bring healing to her gallbladder. Pray also that the doctors will be able to figure out if that truly is the case so that we know how to treat it.
The Lord has also called to begin a prayer ministry right here on campus. We began the year with a prayer walk in January with the faculty, staff, and anybody who was willing to pray before the students returned from Christmas break.
We both believe that God has blessed these ministries. Please pray that God will continue to lead us in His path and that we will be willing to follow His leading no matter where it may be, and that He will protect us in our prayers.

Blessing to you all and may the Lord bless you and keep you in His care....

- Mark and Rachel
