Dear Key Club,

Thanks for praying this past week for Escape, the big junior high retreat in Germany this weekend. I got an e-mail from a fellow Malachi worker over there, and he said they took over 200 students to the retreat! The theme this year was “The Transformer.” The hope for the weekend was for students to experience the transformational power of Jesus in their lives.

Just as many regions across the US were slammed with a lot of snow this past week, Germany also received record snowfalls, causing some delays and hiccups for Escape, but it still went on! Please pray for safety as everyone heads home tomorrow. Also, please pray for students who made decisions for Christ this weekend. Pray for staff as they follow up with these students and teach them to grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Thank you so much for lifting these students before the Lord. I appreciate your weekly prayers for the military community and for me as I raise support to minister to them in Germany. In the coming weeks I have some opportunities to share the story of the American military teen and invite others to join us in praying for and supporting this ministry. I covet your prayers as I work out the details and prepare for these sharing opportunities.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Go on a date with Jesus this week : )

For the Gospel,

Beth
