For those that don't get my email updates, here is a recap of the highlights:
I’ve had the joy of encouraging these young friends in their walk with the Lord. In the middle, wearing yellow, is my friend Djakari. In January, he made the choice to follow Jesus, after seeing the change in the life of his friend Adama (in pink). His family are members of the majority religion here. They accepted this change reluctantly until Djakari got a job with a Christian tailor and enrolled in a Christian school for tailors. They began to put enormous pressure on him and continued for 4 weeks. They finally kicked him out of the house. We rallied around him in prayer, and the Lord miraculously calmed the situation. The family actually asked him to come back home. Continue to pray for him, his walk with the Lord, and the situation with his family. Also, pray that he would do well with his schooling.
In September, I had the chance to visit the States and meet my youngest nephew. He got his good looks from his uncle.
While Stateside, I also visited friends and family in Utah. It is always a breath of fresh air to be with friends that encourage and challenge me. And the mountains aren’t bad either!
Prayer Requests:
1. Praise the Lord for a wonderful trip home. Thanks to all of you who made time to see me!
2. Pray for the meetings this week that will have important implications for the hospital and for our team. Pray that the Lord would be present, guiding all these meetings.
3.Continue to pray for Djakari as he has started school to learn to be a tailor. Pray that he would continue to grow in his faith. Praise the Lord, his home situation has stabilized.
4. Next week, C&MA workers from several different cities in our area will be getting together for our annual spiritual retreat. Pray that it would be a real time of refreshing and encouragement for all who attend.
