Things are and continue to be intense as we approach Congress. My leave date is less than three weeks away, and I'm feeling it! So much going on as we prep and also as I have been working on an application and preparing for my next (placement) trip this fall. I also had the opportunity to visit a home fellowship who supports me last week.
That is always so special to have people locally who know who I am and affirm their partnership with me by having me visit. As I shared hi lights and challenges of this past year as well as the upcoming transition, I was blessed at everyone's questions and insights, especially the children's! During the prayer time at the end that consisted of everyone's prayer needs, I shared one I'd just learned of the day before: that our 5 delegates from MENA (M. East, N. Africa) still hadn't received their Visas after months of failed attempts and rejections both in-person and online!
How special to pray for this together and start seeing evidence of answered prayer the very next day when we discovered that they needed another letter. I'm not sure if this has been the hold-up or not, but it certainly seems promising that there was something else we could offer to assist them in this process. I'd ask you to please join us in praying for this very practical need. Will keep you posted!
