Annemarie’s parents are in their nineties, with increasingly fragile health, and she has decided to retire in 2025. There is lots to be done as her work is handed over so pray for her successor, the board, the direction of the AIDS Program, and the church in preparation for this transition.

Ask God to continue giving her peace and perseverance as she adjusts to Kenyan life and culture and settles into her new responsibilities.
