Praying over the Obstacles

I made a great, new missionary friend & told him about our heart to partner in reaching the Teso. I told him how we were stalled out waiting to get there. Once there we could take lots of pictures & videos & capture compelling stories to tell to illustrate the needs for folks. He agreed that was good, but asked a simple question, "Why don't you pray for the obstacles?"

Exactly. Why don't we? Thanks, Jerry, for speaking from the outside what should have been obvious to me from the inside. Perspective. Is that an aspect of wisdom? Then Jerry's got it.

So, Dear Friends, here are a few things to pray for:

• Peace & provision for the peoples of Kenya. Without peace jobs & livelihoods & homes & everything else is turned upside down.
• Harry & Deb Holcomb's work schedules to freed as needed to allow them to make the Discovery trip when God intends. We may be able to go August 25-September 4. That's soon!
• A Strategy Leader from Southview to be called by God to lead every aspect of this partnership forward. Leader, advocate, administrator, strategist. A person of faith & vision.
• A Prayer Leader from Southview to lead in praying for the Teso of Kenya, and be an advocate for them through a variety of other prayer strategies. Another person of faith & vision.
• The Christ-followers among the Teso would be open to a relationship with us & we would all be willing to be used as God intends to start a Church Planting Movement among them.

Thank you, Dear Friends.

I'll update you as things change.
