Happy New Year!

 

Next week is the Launch Conference for the Long Term Missions Department. We have 13 prospective missionaries, some single and some couples, wanting to serve in India, Cambodia, Swaziland, Romania, and Jordan. This will be a week of orientation for them, where they receive resources and information on support raising, AIM policies, ministry cross-culturally, etc, where we get to meet them face-to-face, get to know them, and pour into them. This is our first ever training for LTM, and we are excited! We’ve been preparing for weeks, arranging a cook, lodging, and transportation, making a training packet, preparing for sessions. I’d appreciate it if you be praying for us next week… this big for our program!

 

After training, the attendees will find out if they’ve been accepted and will then go to their hometowns to raise support and prepare to move overseas for 2+ years. Many of them will probably leave for the field in the fall, so this is an important milestone–not only for our program but for them as well.

 

Secondly, it’s time for the “new year” of trips. I leave May 24 for Thailand, to return June 7. Already, we’ve been talking with the team, sharing information, praying together, etc. We’ve set up ministry there… all that’s left is to go!

 

I’m very excited for this trip, to be able to return to the ministries we worked with in October, Rahab and Nightlight, and to continue sharing the hope and love of Christ in one of the darkest places on the planet. Please be praying for Connie and I as we prepare to go, for the team, for safety in travel, and for us to be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit in wherever we go or whatever we say.
