We kindly ask for your prayers and intercession for our son, Joshua, who has recently completed his freshman year of college. Just before the end of his first year, he is facing serious criminal charges that threaten his freedom, future, and well-being.

Earlier this year, Joshua reached out to us, seeking prayer to help him make wise decisions, stay focused on his responsibilities, and remain guarded against pitfalls.

Joshua has encountered challenges at every school he has attended since we returned from my last overseas Post. He genuinely loves the Lord, yet his walk of faith often feels under attack, though his faith itself remains strong. We earnestly pray for God's favor, mercy, and protection over him—so he can break free from any bonds and walk in the blessings God has planned for his life.

He is facing a difficult choice between accepting a plea deal or going to trial, which could result in jail time. We feel overwhelmed by the weight of this decision and trust that God will provide clarity and guidance during this urgent time.
