In two weeks, Vileen and I will be traveling to Omaha NE to visit our families. We will spend time with our daughter’s family as well as some good friends. While we are in the Omaha area we will drive to Minnesota to spend time with our good friends in Owatonna.
At this juncture in our lives, every facet of our lives touches the development of Grace Rivers. We have several important meetings on our agenda that we are asking your prayers for. While we look to the future of Grace Rivers we are praying about those who would partner with us in financial and practical ways. We are building a ministry team to assist us in carrying out our mission. We would appreciate your prayers for these two things as we look at our Omaha Trip.
Pray for:
Wisdom for John and Vileen
Financial provision for our personal needs
For Bart (ghost writer) and my book project
Our meetings while in the Omaha area.

Phew! God has provided for us! We received financial provision at just the right time. Things were getting a little slim around the Smid household. I deeply appreciate your prayers and thoughtfulness. Keep praying for our finances and God’s wisdom as we continue our pursuit of developing Grace Rivers.
We are praying about some more long term plans for our financial needs and how God wants to direct our path.
Pray for:
Wisdom for John and Vileen
Financial provision for our personal needs
For Bart Green (ghost writer) and my book project

I am still experiencing God’s peace however, at this time, Vileen and I are one month behind in my salary from Love In Action. Love In Action has had a very hard summer financially and really needs your prayers to help them and for Vileen and I as we continue in our walk of faith for God’s leading.
The Book Project
I received some work back from Bart, my author. I have to be honest, I wept all the way through it and this is just the beginning. He has very eloquently captured my heart. Please keep Bart in your prayers. He experienced a medical reaction last week that put him out for 10 days. There is such an anointing on this book project that much prayer is needed to make it to the end of this one!
Pray for:
Wisdom for John and Vileen
Financial provision for Love in Action and for John and Vileen
For Bart and the Book project

I remain calm in my walk of faith regarding provision for myself and Vileen come November. I continue to pray and seek the Lord for His will. I trust He will lead us.
I heard from my book writer this week and he said to thank you all for your prayers. He is gaining freedom from the strange distractions that have been occurring lately. He said he will have some pages for me soon.
Pray for:
Wisdom for John and Vileen
For Bart Green, my writer, to gain progress on the book soon.
Financial provision for our family starting in November 2008

John’s Book
I have contracted with a ghost writer to compile the material I have written into an effective outcome. My writer, Bart Green, is incredibly capable of this project. He is a very experienced writer and has an awesome list of credientials. I am humbled that the Lord has put us together – quite miraculously actually. We have spent much time coming up with a plan that is very exiting.
Now that we have a plan, Bart has been diligent and attentive to this project but has encountered much warfare that has distracted him.
Pray for:
Content development
Creativity in writing
Singleness of mind
God’s annointing on the project all the way through
Bart Green
A publishing company that is best for this project
