So, I thought I'd start titling our new prayer updates with an interesting question or random thought. We'll see how long that lasts;)
We had a great 2 weeks with our friend from the States. We also had a conversation with the people at Crossroads Baptist Church in Leesburg, VA this afternoon via Skype. We shared a bit of what God is doing through and around us, and had the privilege of encouraging them to support so many people like us through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering (Video). If you're visiting our site from Leesburg, welcome and thank you for your support.
Please pray this week...
- that we would thrive in spite of the darkness, both spiritual and physical. The days continue to get shorter (currently the sun rises at 8am and sets at 4pm) and the clouds hover for long periods of time. It's easy to see why the people of this city could be so closed off.
- for a promising lead on housing for our interns who arrive in January.
- that we will seek God and hear from Him. It's easy to build momentum and then begin to run on our own strength. Well, I say it's easy, but in the end it's not. It is easy to be decieved and begin to think that we have everything under control. But we know that only God has life in control and our efforts are futile. We've been encouraged by several things recently, but with the good can come the temptation to take control.
- for our good friend Jeremy who is interviewing at 1pm our time on Monday for a job in Cairo. Ask God to give him wisdom and discernment. He hasn't lost his job and wasn't looking to move. But this opportunity was set before him. The job would mean a significant move for his wife and two kids. Pray that God would give him clarity and that he would consider God's glory in his decision.
There's always so much more. Please continue to pray that God will be glorified in the areas mentioned in the last update as well.
We love you...
