You probably are too. But I think I know of some people who might be wearier than us both. The believers in Asia that Bethany and I have been helping to equip in the training program that started back in June are downright exhausted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These dear friends and fellow members of the Body of Christ were faithful in walking with God in, let\u2019s just say, less than friendly circumstances when it comes to religious freedom. They live in economically depressed parts of their countries and everyday life carries much more challenge for them than it does for us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add to that the ravaging effects of COVID-19 and you have people almost at a breaking point. But wait, they all embarked on a two-year training journey with us and have been completing college-level courses online in a language that\u2019s not their first language.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>They\u2019re tired. They have every reason to be.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, they have a long break coming up too. They\u2019re a week away from what will be an 11-week break between the class they\u2019re in and the next one, a class on the sweetest book in scripture, the book of Romans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, many are weary and even contemplating stepping out due to the load. So, let\u2019s band together to pray for these men and women. Let\u2019s ask the Lord:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span class=\"has-inline-color has-red-color\"><strong>To give them rest during this break<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"has-inline-color has-red-color\"><strong>For clarity on whether it\u2019s just tiredness suggesting they step out or really the Lord\u2019s leading<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"has-inline-color has-red-color\"><strong>That they would continue to realize His sufficient grace in their circumstances<\/strong><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These students are sweet folks, men and women, Dads, and Moms who we would love to see finish this program and get this training. They need our prayers right now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m tired these days. You probably are too.
