Thanks for Praying!
Thank you so much for your prayers last week as I taught classes at Interface. We had major technical difficulties one morning but it all worked out fine. I wasn’t able to spend as much time with the college students as I would have liked since I had to spend most of my afternoons and evenings on final preparations for the classes but I ate all of my meals with them, played some volleyball, and had some good chats. The classes must not have been too bad because they have asked me to return next month and teach the same classes to the next batch of students. Next time will be more relaxing as I will have all of the material prepared. Thanks again for praying. I really needed it!
Another Simbari Trip
As I mentioned briefly in my last e-mail, I have plans to take another trip into Simbari from July 9-15. I invited 2 single friends who are here for a year or two working in support roles. One is a nurse working in our clinic and the other is a music teacher. I’ve gotten to know them during my stay here in town and wanted them to experience tribal missions. I’m praying for good weather to be able to show them around and take them on a hike while they are there. Bill and Lynette Cottam, who helped me so much on my previous trip, will also be coming with me as well as one of the high school graduates who is staying on the field a few extra months and is working with Bill as a sort of short-term apprenticeship. We’ll be in close living quarters and eating all of our meals together so I’m sure we’ll all be getting to know each other really well during our 5 days in the tribe.
Prayer Requests
- Pray that I would have a good time of fellowship with my mission’s pastor and his wife, Rick and Janice Ribble, this weekend and that the plans will go smoothly to fly them into Simbari for a few hours on Monday, the 30th. The weather usually isn’t too great at this time of year so I could potentially be pointing to some fluffy clouds and saying, “Our tribe is under there somewhere”. Or we could get stuck in there overnight due to bad weather (which wouldn’t be such a bad thing in my book). So now that you know the various scenarios, you can pray more intelligently.
- Pray for good weather and a good time of fellowship with the believers on my next Simbari trip from July 9-15.
- Pray for me as I teach classes again at Interface on July 24-26. Are all these dates getting jumbled in your mind? They are in mine, too!
- Praise: I slept quite a bit after my return from teaching at Interface and am feeling more rested now.
Your partnership means so much to me.
