Travels and trials

October 3, 2017 by Lance and Laura Ostman

Wow! October 2017 is history already!

Travels: Our last update was written prior to our trip to Wisconsin and Michigan to see ministry partners and to speak in the two Ethnos360 Bible Institutes. Praise God with us for a great trip, wonderful fellowship and hopefully some lives challenged for future missionary careers! Thank you for praying for us. We had a couple of close calls while driving and definitely saw God’s protection over us.

Looking ahead to next week we are going on a missions trip to Arizona with our local church! Please pray for God’s work in and through us and for the people HE would have us impact for His Kingdom.

Post surgery trials: Upon our return home Lance had a post surgery check up with the urologist who did his surgery in early September. Due to scar tissue he had to have a painful removal of it. He’s endured two such procedures (a week apart) He has another appointment in about 2 1/2 weeks. The Dr gave us the hope that this will not be a long term issue. Please pray to that end.

Translation:  The translation of 1 Chronicles is slow and difficult but we praise the Lord for progress being made. Thank you for praying for wisdom. Praise the Lord with us for His provision of a new computer. It makes the job much easier using tools that work well.

Adoption: Our daughter and son-in-law continue the process of adoption of a precious little boy in East Asia. Please continue to PRAY for them, little David, and God’s will and timing. Click here to read their story.

Thank you: Thank you so much for praying for us, the Higaunon, and the work we are doing for the glory of our precious Lord Jesus.

Secure in Christ’s love,

Lance & Laura
