Jeff and I were with friends at Battle Ground yesterday.They encouraged me to continue blogging so I'm back and hope to keep this more up to date with what we are doing and how people can pray for us.
Praise: Jeff's health continues to improve on the vegan diet. His medical update: the diabetes is reversing, his blood pressure is down, his cholesterol is down and the kidney disease is reversing.
Please pray: for continuing improvement of health as his system is still in transition.
Praise: Our new role as Mission Coaches is an exciting journey. We are meeting with people interested in ministries in Pakistan, Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, Quebec, and Indonesia to name a few.
Pray we will have wisdom and discernment in coaching, encouraging and guiding these people on their missional journeys.
Pray for our trip to Cedarville University for their annual missions conference Oct. 21-24 as Jeff and I meet with our mentors, Phil and Mimi Bjorklund, who have been doing recruiting/coaching for the past 8 years. Pray we will be teachable and learn more about our role and how to better integrate the IT systems for tracking and reporting.
Pray as we will return to participate in Corban College's Annual Missions conference Oct. 26-30. Pray that we will develop relationships there that will be instrumental in encouraging young people in developing their Theology of Mission and engage their hearts with God's heart.
In all of this, especially pray we will have the strength and stamina for the journey. We find the pace of life here and the rhythms of working with students very challenging.
