The Latest<\/h3>\n
\"\"Brad is experiencing some healing progress in his back and neck; he and Chelsea have been busy with medical appointments, deputation work, and family life.\u00a0We have started connecting with a few churches and supporters, and look forward to connecting with many more as the month progresses.\u00a0Sarai (8) is doing schoolwork from her school in Rwanda, Gideon (5) is attending a local preschool 3 mornings a week, though he recently stayed home for several weeks due to COVID.\u00a0Ian (9 months) is really enjoying practicing walking and loves being with his family. We are very thankful for time with family over the Christmas holidays!<\/div>\n

Goal Updates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Prayer Partners – 693 out of 1,000<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Financial Commitments – 93%<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The financial commitments percentage assumes that each financial partner will be able to continue giving in the same way. We are in the process of checking with our existing partners about this (if you haven\u2019t already let us know, you can just hit reply to this email to tell us. Thank you!)<\/div>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’re not already, would you prayerfully consider making a monthly giving commitment (even a few dollars) towards a whole-life disciple-making movement in Africa? One-time gifts are important, but monthly giving commitments help us be able to go back to and remain in Africa. Here\u2019s a link to our EFM donation page: https:\/\/catalog.friendsmission.com\/carpenter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  1. We praise God\u00a0for the healing and relief that has been gradually taking place in Brad\u2019s back and neck.<\/li>\n

  3. We praise God for His people who are willing to invest in His work around the world, including in Africa.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Please pray for our Rwandan colleagues, who are both experiencing their own difficulties due to COVID and also leading their people in and through difficulties.<\/li>\n
  2. Please pray for our friend Egidie, the wife of a long-time Rwandan friend, who needs medical help after the birth of their first baby.<\/li>\n
  3. Please continue to pray for Brad\u2019s healing and for wisdom for next steps in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
