...pressing...in...

Blessings to you!
Im sending this newsletter to share where the Lord has me and
where He has called me.
I think it has been two years since I felt a pressing from the Lord to
become a part of a House of Prayer here in Wilmore. This House of
Prayer, CornerStone International House of Prayer (CI-HOP) is
affiliated with and currently under the same roof as CornerStone
International (CI), missions base. This is unique and important.
They support each other. Prayer and missions go together.
Jesus said,
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into
his harvest field. Luke 10:2
I had quite a number of conversations with the Lord about why I should not be here. I thought it was a waste of
my time and His, that I needed to be making money, that I wouldnt accomplish anything. I reminded Him that
He made me to be busy, getting things done, not for stillness. He didnt make me to be closed up, pinned in some
room, praying, but for the outdoors. He replied, I do know you and I know how I made you. You dont know
yourself or how I have made you, Marylou. If you will allow Me into this place in your mind, emotions, attitude,
behavior, thinking and strength, I will teach you about Me and about yourself.

Prayer Needs

To remember that God has

called me to CI-HOP

To continue to press into

Yahwehs presence, prayers
and care for His people

My family, Ken, Grace and

Earl

This community of CI-HOP

and Wilmore, KY, that God
would have His way

This has not been easy for me. I have wanted to bolt, stay away or think I can do this on my
own and my own way. The other precious intercessors here have seen my struggle and
theyre glad I want to invest in Yeshua. He has invested a great deal in me. There are places,
people and situations He wants to share with me, that are on His heart and mind. I want to be
like Anna in the temple who saw Jesus. I want pray the prayers of Yeshua for His people and
for those who are coming to
Him. He has called me to pray.
So I will keep on choosing to
press into Yeshua.

Family Updates...
Marylou...Im quite busy
homeschooling Earl, although he is
now taking some classes away from
home to prepare for college if that
is what he wants. It wont be long
before we will be teaching Earl to
drive!
Im still a part of the ministry at our
local jail. I speak every 3rd Thursday. We see a whole generation that
does not know the Bible.

Egula program training as a part of

my healing ministry. Its amazing
what God can use, even horses. He
has taken me into deeper healing
because of it.

Grace is now in her second year of

college at Asbury University. She has
declared History as a minor and
Youth Ministry/ Missions as majors.
She is growing in the Lord and it is
fun to watch her move in His ways.
She has purchased her first vehicle
and is learning the responsibilities of
owning a car.

Earl

at the jail

I was delighted to help coach

archery at our alternative school
this past year. I also, helped with a
program called Egula, which uses
horses to help young people work
through their feelings, emotions and
helps them interact and communicate better. Im praying about

backpacking, caving and canoeing.

He is also working in the Asbury
cafeteria to help him through the
winter months.

turned
fifteen this
summer.
He is taller
than his
sister now
and almost
as tall as
his dad. He
has had a
mowing business for five years,
mostly with Moms help. Now he
does all of it himself, but still needs
my help to get to and from those jobs.
He did some landscaping with a
friend of mine this summer along
with his mowing and some painting.
He just finished Adventure
Leadership Camp this summer at
Asbury University where he went

Ken has been at Asbury College/

University for thirteen and a half
years. He still has his own electrical
business. He is also the curator of the
Wilmore Caboose Museum.

Team up!
I wanted to share this new place in
my life with you, here at CI-HOP,
and see if you would like to team up
with me. I would greatly value your
financial and emotional support and
your prayers. Would you ask the Lord
about being part of my support team?
Thank You!
