Amelia* serves in West Africa, sharing the gospel with those in a region that is very opposed to the message of Jesus Christ. Pray that the Lord would help her to navigate the ups and downs of life there: the frustration of not being able to express herself; of feeling like she’s not making the progress she should; of never being quite sure what cultural foible she’s on the edge of making. Pray that she would know how best to study and what to focus on in each language lesson. Thank the Lord for a couple of lessons a week with a new energetic language helper, for kind neighbours, and for a new group of women she met recently who patiently endured talking to her despite her garbled language!
