We began the month with our annual prayer retreat at a small chapel in the mountains nearby. We were challenged in several devotionals to persevere in prayer and be patient as we wait on the Lord. Dr. Jim Allen, our VP of Team Development, shared about the struggles experienced by missionaries in the field and the church around the world, especially those serving in creative-access regions or where Christianity is strongly opposed by the government, often resulting in harassment and persecution.
This week our Board of Trustees and regional directors have gathered for meetings here. In chapel each morning we’ve heard reports from some of our regional directors. We celebrated over the mighty things God is doing globally and prayed for many of the needs ministry wide.
