LAYLE FAMILY / MINISTRY UPDATE Advanced Discipleship Training

Testimony: I had a strong realization this morning and felt moved to share: I AM A FORGIVEN, SURRENDED, RIGHTEOUS CHILD OF GOD! No matter what anyone says or does to me, they CAN NOT TOUCH THIS FACT! There is such a rest and ease within me. I feel like I am able to FINALLY abide in His Love. And of course I started bawling...and Im ok with that! I am finally, finally, FINALLY starting to get this! I think EVERY Christian needs to take ADT! ~ Patrick (Michigan ADT Class of 2013) Who:

Testimonies: What a gift to come to a marriage retreat where we are not taught the typical tips and techniques. Not just dealing with symptoms but getting after the roots. Loved it! I feel this weekend has been a life-changing event for me. I have become closer to God, myself, and my husband.

I thank my God every time I remember you...because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now!
Philippians 1:3,5

Band practice began with a bang! Taylor began Marching Band for her new High School a few weeks ago. Yes...I said HIGH SCHOOL! How did that happen?!?! Im not that old! Nation Ford High School is nationally recognized for their band program. Many great memories begin now!

Chris is back from Honduras

After 18 days on his Honduras mission trip Chris experienced God in some awesome ways! He had the opportunity to lead three people to Christ personally through door to door evangelism, share Christ at several schools through drama and be a part of a nationwide effort through 18 stadium events calling people to Christ. We are grateful to God and you for your prayers and support.

Medical: You may remember we had $17,000 of medical and dental bills this year. The Lord has provided all but $4,000 of that amount! Thank you Lord. Support: We are $4,500 behind on support this year but are trusting the Lord to make it up. Marriage Retreat: Please join us in prayer as we enter into the battle for healthy marriages. Please pray for protection for our own marriage, as well as the couples attending. Email me if you are willing to pray for a specific couple (without their name) during the retreat. Thank you!
