Our break from travel was much needed. \u00a0We really had a lot that we needed to get caught in on life and ministry in general. \u00a0It also gave us a chance to recharge. \u00a0Mostly it was also good for the boys have to have us both here for a long stretch of time. \u00a0However as of last week our break is over. \u00a0Joel as I write is driving on a terrible road in Guinea to meet with some of our teams in that area. \u00a0He has set out on on of the lengthiest trip he has ever made. \u00a0What began originally as 2 different leadership trips has ended up getting meshed into one long marathon trip. \u00a0So he will be gone for close to 3 weeks. \u00a0Over that time he will spend over 4 full days of that in the car driving over some ugly roads. \u00a0Thankfully there are multiple drivers to break up the long bad stretches. \u00a0They will be meeting with 7 different teams from Southern Senegal to Northern Guinea. \u00a0The goals of these meetings are to look at the strategies of the teams and how that is working out. \u00a0It is a chance see what current struggles they are facing and what is gong well. \u00a0It is a chance to pray with them know better how to pray and follow up once they are no longer right there with them.<\/p>\n

So as you are thinking of us this week you can pray for Joel as he travels.<\/p>\n

Pray…<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u00a0For Safety on the Road<\/li>\n
  • Pray for patience when things don’t go as planned<\/li>\n
  • For good meetings with each of the teams they will meet<\/li>\n
  • For wisdom in the decisions that need to be made<\/li>\n
  • That they would be an encouragement to all those they visit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
