Greetings, praying friends. On Monday, February 16, I leave for a long trip to southern and eastern Africa to launch several new networks. I’ll share the details below and would truly appreciate your prayers.
Mozambique and Kenya: Feb. 16 – March 6
Overview: This will be a longer than usual, three-week training time in three locations. For the first two weeks I’ll be joined by new Pathways staff members, retired pastors Steve and Mark. For the third week I’ll be alone. We will be launching two new networks, one in Mozambique and one in Kenya. Then I’ll be working with church planters who will be targeting unreached parts of Somalia, Ethiopia, and northeast Kenya.
Itinerary:
- Feb 16-18 – Travel to Mozambique and prepare for training.
- Feb 19-21 – Launch new network in Maputo.
- Feb 22 – Preach in churches.
- Feb 23-24 – Travel to Bungoma, Kenya.
- Feb 25-27 – Launch new network in Bungoma.
- Feb 28 – Travel to Mombasa, Kenya.
- March 1 – Preach in church.
- March 2-5 – Train church planters in Mombasa.
- March 6 – Travel home.
Prayer points:
- Please be in prayer for the leaders (and participants) in each of these locations. Pray they will be well prepared and have hearts and minds ready to learn and grow.
- Mozambique: Isaias and Jeremias.
- Bungoma, Kenya: Silas and Abel.
- Mombasa, Kenya: Joseph and Safia.
- Pray that I will coach Steve and Mark well, affirming where I can and helping them grow to be highly effective trainers. There are some challenging travel elements that they are nervous about, so pray all goes smoothly.
- Pray that master trainers from Macia are able to make it to Maputo for the training. Bad storms destroyed the one road, so pray the road is quickly restored.
- Pray that the coordinators will select the most motivated, committed, qualified master trainers who will practice principles and pass on training to many others.
- Pray for Holly as this is one of my longer trips away.
Thank you for your prayers!
