Alongside
We all need encouragement all of our lives, especially those in demanding pioneering situations. So, next week we’ll be with our MENA Regional Leaders for equipping a group of new Arab “mobile alongsiders,” for our ministries in the Middle East and North Africa. This is an exciting and crucial opportunity. Please pray that the Great Shepherd of the sheep will equip them for the work that He is calling them to do. (Hebrews 13:20-21)
Prayer Update #1: Pray for 1 Timothy 2:1-4, peace and blessing over the country where we’ll be meeting. There are protests taking place in all the major cities calling for the government to step down.
Prayer Update #2: I received a lot of encouragement in Toronto on the Tech Enabled Oral Discipling tool that I’m seeking to create. Here is a link to a summary of some of what I learned: International Orality Network Insights. As I write this, Renee and I are finishing a few days of ministry with our son and his wife as they live and serve among refugees in another country in MENA.
