Lt. John Joseph Houston

























Today is the 10th day in the search for our friend, Joe Houston, a Navy pilot. He and his co-pilot, Bret Miller, were on a training mission off the coast of Corpus Christi last Wednesday. Bret's body was found last Friday in the water, and a memorial service was held for him yesterday. Pray in faith today, knowing that God can perform a miracle and reveal Joe alive today. There have been many pockets of fresh water and wildlife found on San Jose Island, where they believe he may be. The civilian searchers will be covering the last 7 square miles of island today, and particularly an area where they believe he may be. Follow this link to the search blog, http://www.findjoehouston.blogspot.com/ where you can stay updated with search information and prayer needs.

Please be in prayer for Joey's parents, brother, son, and Jenn Todoroff, Joe's fiance. It has been an incredibly hard week and a half, but the Lord has sustained them. I have been amazed at the grace He has given them, and they are giving Him all the glory. It is a beautiful story of how God gives us grace in our weakness, and strength when we are in the midst of trials.
