- Pray for Jimmy's healing process. We want the bleeding to stop, but then we will also have the question of how to keep him healthy in Chad. Also pray that all that is sorted in time so that we don't have to significantly delay our return to Africa (currently planning to return right after Thanksgiving).
- Pray for Jake as he gets used to the outside world and for us as we get used to having two kids! Especially pray that Jake would remain healthy and that all his paperwork (passport especially) would go in a smooth and timely manner.
- Pray for us as we continue to learn to parent. Pray that we would also grow individually in our walks with God and in our marriage. Pray that we would be able to balance priorities well during this season.
- Pray for the work back in Africa, particularly for the group of believers that our team has been meeting with for the past several months. Recently, another organization has come in to run some Christian training programs and we have some concerns about the content they have been teaching and the influence it is having on the believers who have attended. Pray for wisdom especially for our teammates that are currently on the ground as they do their best to sort through the mess and follow up with people. Pray for these believers and seekers to be gifted with the ability to see through and reject unbiblical attitudes and teachings and that their biggest hunger would be for Christ and his Word.
