Be Strong and Courageous!!!

This Sunday, our dear friend and brother, Staff Sergeant Michael Porter is being deployed to Afghanistan with the United States Marine Corp.

Michael, we will miss you while you are gone, but we praise God that he is using you in a mighty way. You are fighting for our freedom and we are grateful for your bravery, loyalty, and commitment to our country. We will never take what you do for granted.

May the Lord protect you physically, mentally, and emotionally while you are there. We love you and are so proud of you!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9

"It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn."
Psalm 18:32-36

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13

We Love You Brother!

Please pray along with our family for Michael's safety and that he would be a light for God during his time in Afghanistan.
