I will be participating in a mission outreach in Miami Fla. between February 9 and the 16th.  This is my first Apple of His Eye mission since becoming staff.

Alan Butterworth is the leader of the effort in Miami.  Steve Cohen, the founder of Apple of His Eye will be arriving later in the week.  I will be helping to the extent I can, and being trained in  how AOHE runs this kind of an outreach.  While we are in Miami we will be working with Faith Lutheran Hialeah and their pastor Rev. Mark Wessling.

We will be working with the congregation and with some new Apple of His Eye  trainees in the neighborhood around the church, in South Beach, and in Coconut Grove.

Please pray for those who will be participating in this outreach effort, that the Lord will give them courage to boldly proclaim Yeshua as Messiah, and to encourage others to do the same.  Pray that the Lord will open the hearts of the people we will be talking with, and that there will be effective follow-up for those who respond.
