We are so thankful for your prayers and partnership in the whole-life discipleship movement here in East Africa!<\/p>\n<p>From Saturday, December 13, until Sunday the 21st, Brad will be on a trip to Burundi and then South Sudan. Time in both countries will be focused on starting new mission work and partnership with our African friends. Please pray for wisdom and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and to each other, as we (EFM) work with EFC-Rwanda and EFC-Burundi. We are praying for God to lead us into the best ways of partnering together for more effective mission to the nations. Please pray for health, safety, and blessing over those who are travelling and for their families at home.<\/p>\n<p>We are thankful that we are all fairly healthy after being sick recently. We are also really thankful that Brad\u2019s parents are with us until the beginning of January! We look forward to spending this Christmas season with them and some friends in Musanze.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, we pray that all would hear about the hope that God offers through Jesus. May He be glorified all throughout the world!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<br \/>\nBrad &amp; Chelsea<br \/>\nSarai, Gideon, and Ian<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Prayer Partners, Many things have happened since we last wrote.
