Please Pray for Jon as He Prepares for Malawi
I hope you are doing well. I wanted to take a moment to share a special prayer request with you concerning my son, Jon.
He is preparing for his first mission trip to Malawi, and it is a joy to see the Lord opening this door for him. As he gets ready, I would deeply appreciate your prayers for wisdom, provision, protection, and for the Lord to use him and the team in a meaningful way.

More than anything, I would be grateful for your prayers.
Thank you so much.

Restoring Hope to Hurting Pastors | The Ministry Helping Burned-Out Preachers and Their Families
Every day, three Baptist preachers leave the ministry. Many walk away because of spiritual burnout, family pressure, church conflict, or hidden struggles that quietly take their toll. Behind the pulpit often stands a weary man, a hurting family, and a burden few people ever see.
There’s Hope Family Ministries was founded in 2001 by John and Brenda French to provide a place where pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and their families can step away from the pressures of ministry and find restoration. Located in the peaceful hills of West Tennessee, the ministry offers cabins, a prayer garden, and quiet surroundings designed to help ministers rest, recharge, and reconnect with the Lord.
Built on the promise of Lamentations 3:21–26, this ministry has helped hundreds of pastors and ministry families find encouragement, counseling, and renewal during some of the most difficult seasons of their lives.
In this video you will hear testimonies from those who have experienced the impact of this ministry firsthand. From restored marriages to renewed strength for the work of God, many have found that when hope seems lost, there truly is hope.
If you are a pastor, missionary, evangelist, or ministry family carrying a heavy burden, or if you want to support a ministry that is helping restore those who serve the Lord, this message is for you.
“This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.” – Lamentations 3:21

🪶 A Dream, A Destination, A Divine Assignment
We’re Going to the Navajo Nation — By Faith, With Purpose
Some stories begin with strategy.
Ours began with a dream.
One night, I dreamed that Amy and I were standing on Navajo land, preparing to open a ministry facility that could feed 15,000 children a day. I woke up overwhelmed in God’s presence — a pattern I’ve come to recognize when the Lord speaks to me through dreams. I’ve seen these kinds of dreams unfold before, and they’ve led me to prayerful, Spirit-led obedience.
After praying and researching, I discovered that over 15,000 children within the Navajo Nation live in adverse poverty. That number, without me ever knowing it beforehand, was my first confirmation. God was stirring something I never saw coming.
Months later, a friend I met on a trip to Ecuador told me about his church’s outreach in New Mexico. While their work wasn’t among the Navajo people, it reignited what the Lord had begun stirring in my spirit. I couldn’t shake it. Eventually, I reached out to the North American Mission Board of the SBC and was connected to leaders who are now helping us meet with tribal pastors and mission partners directly tied to the Navajo and surrounding nations.
The Mission Trip
My son Caleb and I are now booked for our first survey trip, June 29 – July 5. This will be a trip to pray, listen, and build relationships. We want to ask the Lord: What are You already doing here, and how can we join You?
We believe God may be calling us to:
-
Share the Gospel with underserved communities
-
Help children and families in generational poverty
-
Explore sustainable ways to strengthen local economies through things like online market places for handcrafted Navajo baskets, clothing, crafts, and more
But above all, this is a trip of discovery and surrender.
How You Can Help
We’re not asking for a specific dollar amount — just for prayers and for obedience to God’s prompting. If He leads you to give toward this effort, know that it will help cover our travel, lodging, and groundwork ministry efforts during this critical survey trip.

Final Thought
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…” (Matt. 28:19).
That word “Go” literally means as you are going.
We’re going — and trusting the Holy Spirit to show us every next step.
Thank you for believing in what God is doing through In Flight Missions.
