Getting Ready

Although we have not been able to travel to the Middle East this year, we have been in constant touch with many of our friends and fellow workers there. This Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we plan to participate in three days of virtual meetings with our regional leadership team. We will be helping them to prepare for the next lap of following Christ in the very challenging situation in that region. It feels like getting ready for a race through unfamiliar territory. Mighty God, we call on you to prepare our fellow workers in the Middle East for the next lap of the race with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. (Ephesians 6:15)

P.S. All cases were dropped, so Renée was released from jury duty!  We are feeling refreshed after our week away.  My head feels clearer, and my heart is energized for the sprint ahead.  The Troublesome Fire was raging just north of us, but thankfully the wind was blowing it to the east.  May the wind of the Spirit fill our sails in these coming weeks!  We’re going to need it.
