Recently, our children have felt the presence of spiritual warfare (more so than the normal amount that missionaries and their children experience). Your prayers for them would be appreciated as they engage in the battle for the souls of others.
My discussions with my kids and some of my colleagues has reminded me that the real battle is not for the short wave license or NGO status, but for the hearts of people to know, worship and glorify the Lord. Please pray that God, in His way and in His time would reach the many people in West Africa who do not know Him.
Please continue to pray for the short wave license, NGO status and more laborers for Benin. Should God desire that TWR use other means to reach West Africa, pray that TWR would follow this leading.
Thank you very much for your prayers for our trip to South Africa. Donna had a wonderful time reconnecting with old friends and colleagues and connecting with new ones. Many of the meetings went well, however, there were a few points where I was hoping for more clarity before we left, pray that these points can be clarified in the coming days. Also pray for the arrival of our kids in Benin this coming weekend for their month long school break.
