May/June 2013 Prayer Letter

For PDF version click here: May/June 2013

We trust this letter finds you well and thank you for taking the time to be a part
of our ministry God has put us in. We have been very busy with our travels on
the road and we believe the doors have opened because you all have prayed for
those needs mentioned in previous letters!

We have been amazed how God has worked in our lives providing every need.
When we started in Janurary 2012, we did not know what to expect. We heard
all the horror stories and even heard how deputation was a waste of time. Well
we would like to say that deputation has taught us so much and we have met
some great people like you all that truly prays for us.

We had several new churches partner up with us the last couple months putting
us at 81% of our support goal! We plan to go out to Logan, Utah in August to survey
the area for a location to plant the church and start looking for housing. We
will be in meetings as we drive out hoping to pick up some more support out
West.

The girls have been enjoying the road and I pray it is something they will remember
as a blessing and not a burden. Aundrea and I have watched them grow in
the Lord and they have learned so much about the ministry. They are ready to
make the move as long as they can get a little dog and have some chickens when
we get there!

As of right now, we plan to make the move late March, early April. We hope we
can get settled in as the winter calms down and get a good start on the church
plant as the warmer weather comes in. Please pray for God to guide us to where
He would have the church, for safety on the road, and for doors to open to present
the work.

Because of Christ,
Nathan A. Kirkman

March/April 2013 Prayer Letter

Hello Praying Friends and Faithful Supporters,

Since our last prayer letter, we have been in various meetings ranging from GA, NC, TN, FL, SC to VA. We kicked off March in a Mission's Conference and seen God move in a big way! This church and several more partnered with us putting us at 75% of our support.

We had the privilege to preach and present the ministry at a church in Georgia where Mrs. Beth Cloud accepted Christ as her Saviour. Please pray that God will continue to work in her life!

We had the opportunity to be in several Mission's Conferences and Revivals where many lives were changed eternally. God opened up the door for new opportunities to present the ministry in the future. We are excited about some upcoming meetings we have scheduled in the next few months.

The girls have enjoyed the road and we want to thank each and every one who has invested to make our children feel special. This is a big deal to my wife and I because we want our children to remember deputation as being a blessing, not a burden.

Please help us pray as we are planning another trip out West in late August/early September. We will be driving through various states presenting the ministry as we make our way to Utah. Pray for safety and guidance while we are on the road.

Because of Christ,
Nathan Kirkman

Jan/Feb 2013 Prayer Letter

Dear Praying Friends and Faithful Supporters,

We have been very busy in the months of Jan. and Feb. God gave us a full calendar with many meetings. We traveled through 3 states on the deputation trail and met many new friends in the ministry.

We had several churches join us in our endeavor to reach the people in Utah. We just reached 70% of our goal support. We thank the Lord for what He is doing in our lives and the doors He has allowed to open.

In January, our middle daughter Maleeya accepted the Lord as her personal Saviour! I had the great privilege to baptize her at our home church. We can win the world but if we lose our family, what have we gained? We praise God that Shaylee and Maleeya are saved and we are praying for Teeter to soon come to the saving knowledge of our Lord.

We are excited about the next couple months. We have a busy calendar with several Mission Conference's that we will be a part of. When we are not in meetings, God has used our family to be part of revivals and special services providing special music. This has exposed us to new Pastors and opened up new opportunities to present the work.

Last, we want to thank you for the cards Shaylee and Teeter received for their birthday's. They made them feel real special. Please pray for more doors and traveling mercies as traveling will pick up in the next months to come.

Because of Christ,
Nathan Kirkman

November / December 2012 Prayer Letter

Dear Praying Friends and Faithful Supporters,

We would like to start off by saying,
THANK YOU ALL for your faithful prayers and financial support you have given to and for us! We are coming to a close on our first year of deputation and I have to say, God guides where He provides!
Over the past 2 months we have traveled through 11 states on our way to meetings. We had the privilege to be a part of 5 Mission Conferences during our travels. We hade 7 new churches partner up with us putting us at 58%. We had the joy of seeing 3 precious souls come to the Lord and ask Him to save them!

 
Our plan is to be on the field the Spring of 2014. We have trusted the Lord in this and if the support keeps coming in, He will honor our prayer!


Victor got Saved!

The Lord has blessed us with some good meetings to come in the near future. We are excited to see what God has in store for the New Year! We are trying to be frugal with God’s money and we are asking if anyone would prefer our prayer letter by email, please email me at hopeforutah@aol.com letting us know.

Pray for safety and wisdom as we do the work the Lord has called our family to! We thank God for the Brothers and Sisters in Christ we have met along the depu-tation trail. May God bless you all in the New Year to come!

Because of Christ,

Nathan Kirkman
