Here is a copy of the prayer update we sent out recently via email to those on our list:
Hi all!
It’s been awhile since we emailed a prayer update. We have mostly been posting things on our blogs. We are looking forward to sharing more of our ministry and lives with you once again! We are so so so grateful for the way you all have lifted us up in prayer recently. We have felt your prayers and desperately needed them! Thank you for blessing us with your constant love and support.

We will be blogging about Tim’s recovery specifically on the brain tumor blog, while our other blog will continue to share updates about ministry, life, and other fun stuff in Galveston.
Here are some ways you can be praying for us:
- Disaster Recovery- Please continue to pray for UMCOR and their work here. Pray for missionaries Susan and Monty as they travel home and take a 3 month break. Please pray for future direction for their ministry also. Pray for the new staff members arriving from Beaumont in the next few weeks. Pray for our friend and construction manager Sandy, who had suffered a minor stroke and heart attack. Doctors are still monitoring him and trying to figure out what’s wrong while he returns to work light duty.
- Primera Iglesia- Now that Tim is recovered from the surgery, he is back officially working at Primera. He preached this Sunday, which was a blessing. We ask that you also pray for our friends Lucy and Dolores, whose 97 year old mother had a heart attack a week ago and went home to be with Jesus on Saturday. The entire congregation knew and loved this founding member of the church. Please pray that in the future months, the congregation would be available to the Holy Spirit and ministering to the community.
- Other friends who need our prayers-
- Friends at University Baptist Church- especially Ruth who is struggling with blood clots with an unknown caus
- Billy and Dawn- used to pastor UBC and still don’t have jobs. Billy is finishing a temporary job and Dawn is providing childcare for their son who lost his wife at the beginning of April. Please pray for discernment and peace for their family
- Dawn’s brother Keith who had a stroke that has left him blind in one eye
- Healing for Tim- It has been an incredible journey for us over the past few months, both with Tim’s surgery and recovery and with carrying and preparing for the arrival of our baby in September. Tim has successfully made it through the first week of chemo, so we are grateful for that. Please pray that the chemo would shrink the tumor and that Tim would remain healthy and strong throughout taking it. Tim is taking the chemo 5 days, then has 23 days off. In this monthly cycle, they will be monitoring his blood work and MRIs to see if the tumor is shrinking. We pray that God would continue to write his story in our lives and develop a testimony of his goodness! (which he already has and is!)
- Discernment- We are at another stage of our lives and work in disaster relief. After taking a few months break to deal with health issues, we are trying to figure out what we should be doing. There are also many complicated decisions to make in the next few months regarding details such as insurance, work, and ministry options. Please pray that we would remain available and aware of what God wants to do through us. We expect to be in Galveston at least through the end of the year, but we are also waiting on God to provide the next step. Who knows? It may be staying here in Galveston for longer than we anticipate.
- Curly Bean- We are excited about the birth of our baby in September. Please pray for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. 🙂 We are starting childbirth classes this month and are preparing the nursery for our little one.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord turn his face toward you and grant you his peace!
Blessings!
Tim and Jenn's Journey
