August Cross Update

Icon Update

Icon went really well.  For those of you who don't know ICON is our International Church Conference where we get together once every two years with our international church plants to seek God and pray.  This year was wonderful as we met in Winter Park, Colorado.  God touched Juleigh and I in a special way, it was so great to feel his presence.  Riah and Kanon had a blast in their class!

We got to carry the cross while we were in Colorado.  People stopped and talked to us and we got to pray for people.  One man even stopped, started crying handed us $50 and said Jesus is his favorite too!  We even got interviewed by a professor for a book he was writing!  So fun.

Prayer Points

• Thank you to all who gave as ICON cost $2,200 to attend.  We still need about $1,200 to pay off our trip.
• Pray that Jesus would speak to us concerning the next several trips.  Our current goal is to take about 6 trips per year.
• Riah is starting preschool this year!  Please pray that we would find the right one.

Love 

Aric, Juleigh, Nariah and Kanon

July Update: ICON

Hey Guys its been four months since we got Kanon and we are doing great. Being a family of four now is a awesome adventure. Juleigh and i are doing well and Nariah and Kanon are having a blast together. In the past few months we have added a new awesome member to our family ,took an Elevate team to the West Bank , celebrated 3 birthdays (Nariah,Juleigh and Kanons)as well as carrying the Cross in Waco.

The Next thing we are about to embark on this summer is our church planting conference ICON which is in Colorado this year. We are taking the cross to ICON our goal is to start setting up cross trips with our church plants around the world as well as carrying the cross in Colorado while we are there. We will be there from July 16-24.

Prayer points:

• We would get to connect with our different church plants and set up future trips.

 

• Pray that the power of God shows up as i carry the cross in Colorado.

• Pray that we get the rest of the finances we still need about $2000 dollars by this Sunday.

Love you guys
