“Please continue to lift up my beloved team on the island. It’s been great to meet our newest members, they seem to have had a good orientation and are eager to get stuck in. Pray for us as we adjust to the different dynamic of welcoming both new and old members back over the next couple of weeks… Pray for health and stamina in the heat, pray for good relationships, and for joy and perseverance in the challenges of language and culture learning . Pray also for encouragement and peace for those on the team who are struggling right now – we are all at various places and going through different trials, and the daily grind and oppression of life over the past few months has been tough. Pray that in the midst of trials God’s peace would guard our hearts and minds and that even in the pain and struggle there may be joy and blessing.”
