We pray that in this new year, you are experiencing God’s grace and peace regardless of the life situation you are facing right now.
Last Friday, January 31, Brad traveled to Burundi to meet with Burundi church leaders and Matt Macy, Jesse Penna, Cassi Coleman, and Grace Anderson. We will be meeting with Burundi Friends leaders to prayerfully discuss the next steps towards going on mission with God to the nations. We will also be planning a summer youth/young adult trip with EFC-MAYM called Saltshaker. Also, on Sunday they were with our Burundi Friends as the role of Legal Representative is handed over to a new leader.
– Please pray for these events and for these conversations. May God lead us into his plans.
On Tuesday, February 4, the Americans and I will travel to Rwanda and meet for a few days with Rwandan Friends leaders about their plans to send missionaries to South Sudan this year. We will also have conversations about strategy and how to best support missionaries in preparation and while they are on the mission field. We will have a man named Samwel Kengela with us from Tanzania who leads a missionary training school in Dar es Salaam. He will be sharing his insights from his years as a missionary and now as a mentor to missionaries.
– Please pray for these conversations and that God would lead each one towards his will.
– Please pray for Chelsea, Sarai, Gideon, and Ian as they are in Musanze on these days.
May his Kingdom come and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
