Once again I find myself indebted to you for your prayers, and God’s answers. It is your prayers that fuel the ministry and provide the need support to move forward. Many thanks!
The Regional Management Team meetings in Johannesburg went very well. I truly believe we heard from God on a number of issues. Please pray that we act appropriately based on what we heard. Also pray that God would be honored as we move from strategic planning to implementation.
On my return home my flight from Johannesburg was delayed such that I missed my connection in Nairobi. Given that there are only three flights a week between Nairobi and Cotonou I was able to spend a few days in Kenya with Nehemiah. (While I fly through Kenya often the cost of laying over a day or two is very expensive so I am not always able to go see Nehemiah on these trips.) Nehemiah was completely surprised to see me. It was great to have some spontaneous time with him. The only down side was that I missed Miriam’s birthday.
The last couple of weeks I have been working on better organizing my life and ministry. The question that has vexed me is: Am I engaging in the most important thing at this moment (with the distinct possibility that writing another overdue email may not be as important as studying the scriptures, going on a walk with my daughters or simply resting, which is a biblical commandment). I would appreciate your prayers in this area and pray that the Lord would send more workers into His harvest.
Thanks again for your prayer support.
Grace & Peace — Paul
