Dear Prayer Partners,

Wow, what a month August was!  This past month found us scrambling to adjust to a new schedule.  Brother Steve Thornton and his wife Mary of necessity had to go to Colorado due to the illness of Steve’s parents.  We have temporarily stepped in until they can return.  This has meant some fast rescheduling, and an increase in message preparation.   Along with all this is the starting up of an online mission class at Arlington Baptist College , and the possibility of another new work beginning in October.  We have also had to tie a lot of loose ends connected with the passing of Daisey’s dad.  Who said the golden years can’t be fun! 

Brother Rich Thomas and the Faith Way Baptist Church in Wellington , Colorado have secured a new location for the services.  The move has opened a lot of new possibilities for the church.  Please continue to pray for this infant work and Brother Thomas and his family.  Winter comes early in Colorado ; so, let’s pray the Lord will give them a steady growth in spite of the cold winter months.

Brother David McDaniel and the Anchor Baptist Church in Jackson , Georgia continue to reach out to the community in Jackson .  The McDaniels are happy for the safe return of their daughter from Afghanistan .  We wish to thank all of you who held this young lady up in your prayers.  Please keep on praying for David and Rebekah and the Anchor Baptist Church .  We’re asking the Lord to give all of these new works a blow out fall as they seek to reach their city with the Gospel.

We have a new prayer request concerning the preparations that are being made to begin the new work in October.  Pray for Brother Willie Milby and his family as they seek to start this new endeavor.  It will be an excellent opportunity to start a racially cross-cultural church in south Grand Prairie , Texas .  After meeting Brother Milby and hearing him preach recently, I’m convinced he will be able to reach out to a racially diverse community in south Grand Prairie .  Already a location has been secured and is being readied for the first service.  Please keep this work and God’s servant in your prayers.

                                             Unworthily His,
                                             Bro. Hiers
