"One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple." Psalm 27:4

Praise & Prayer Update May 25th

Hey everyone,

Please keep us in your prayers this week as D is leaving for the states in just a few days. We haven't been apart from each other for more than one day since we got married, so two and a half months seems like a long time!

Praises:
  • We were able to spend time this week in prayer and thought about our vision and how we can serve here
  • We both were sick during the week and have recovered
  • H has been asking the Lord to send her sick people to pray for, and this week a woman with breast cancer showed up oustide our door begging. H was able to pray for her in the name of Jesus. Pray that God would reveal His Son to this woman.
  • We were both able to connect more with parents of the kids we teach this week. It was really encouraging to get feedback from a few parents about how much their sons or daughters look up to us.
Prayers:
  • That our time together before D leaves would be blessing
  • One of our friends and some national partners have been busy meeting women and sharing the gospel in villages this week. H is helping edit the materials and do background research for this outreach. Pray that the Lord would lead us to bridges to share the good news and reveal Jesus to these women and their families.
  • That the Lord would send us to 'people of peace' who will be receptive to the gospel
  • That we would finish well at school and be a light to our students and colleagues
  • That we would grow in our marriage even when we are ten time zones away from each other!
Thanks so much for your prayers during this time of transitioning from school year to summer. We are excited for all the Lord has for us during the coming season. May we be faithful with all that He has given us.
