We are grateful for being asked to participate in the survival/personal safety training in Idaho this past month. Thankful for several reasons. 1) We did learn a LOT and we hope to be able to pass some of what we learned to others in our cluster in the near future. The training was well worth it and we would recommend it to anyone working and traveling to places of high risk around the world. 2) We have made new friends from around the globe, and we have a better knowledge of how to pray for our brothers and sisters who are living and working in difficult places. 3) We have a much better understanding and appreciation for what others have had to go through for their faith and for what many do to get the Good News to others in spite of various oppositions. I think my prayer life has been deepened by this training. 4) Not related to the training, but because of it, we were able to take time before the training to spend some days with our children and after the training, we have been with David’s family in Texas. It has been such a blessing to us to be with family and we thank God for this.
We arrive in Malawi only to have one day at home before we travel by road to Zambia for the Baptist Fellowship of Zambia’s annual meeting. Following the meeting we hope to visit with a couple of our missionary families to see where they live and work and hopefully be of some encouragement to them. Please pray with us as we travel, attend the meeting and then make the visits. We will be back in Malawi later in the month.
I am going ahead and posting this... I can't for some reason remember how to work with these pictures and I just don't have the time right now!! We love and appreciate you all so much for your prayers.
Please pray with us for Nathaniel as he does his Hand’s On work in Nepal. He has a Blog site that he updates from time to time that you might be interested in reading. He has listed several prayer requests on his latest blog. It is: www.travelingsoulja.blogspot.com He and we are so thankful for this opportunity to serve the Father, learn from others and see for himself the Father’s work in other parts of the world other than Africa.
We praise the Lord for what he is doing in Anna’s life. WE praise Him for providing a badly needed job. (It is part time…) We praise Him for providing a house for her to move into with several other young ladies for this coming year. We praise God for how he is just growing her faith and commitment to Him. We praise God for the friends he has put into Anna’s and Nathaniel’s lives and just pray God’s blessings on them as they are a blessing to us too!
