August Prayer Letter

FULLY FUNDED

We are thrilled to report that God provided all the necessary funds for our team to get to Cote d’Ivoire. We are so humbled by your generosity. On behalf of our whole team, thank you to all who prayed and gave to make this a reality.  

We spent last week with our team in Chicago being briefed on the specifics of our ministry assignment. It was a fantastic week of bonding with our team as well as prepping for the cultural changes we will experience. 

We depart Wednesday, August 24th and will land in Cote d’Ivoire the evening of the 25th. Please pray that we have safe travels and are able to adjust to the climate, culture, and language quickly. 

Thank you for your partnership in bringing the Gospel to the nations!

MEET THE TEAM

In our final meet the team segment we want to introduce you to the gentleman coming with us. Meet Stephen (pictured below, left) and Angelo (below, center). Angelo, a New Mexico native, is returning for his second year in Cote d’Ivoire. We are so blessed to have a team member who is already familiar with the culture, language, and ministry. Stephen is a recent graduate of Kansas State University. He went on summer mission to Cote d’Ivoire in 2015 and was described by the staff as an “Ivorian magnet.” Students loved being around Stephen and learning from him. Both gentlemen are exuberant, fun-loving, and Godly. We can’t wait to experience life and ministry in a new place with these two. 

PRAYER REQUESTS

                

• Pray for our flight on August 24th. Please pray Aiden sleeps and travels well and that we arrive safely. 
• Pray for our transition into a new culture. Pray we pick up language quickly. Pray that Aiden adjusts well to the heat and all the other new things he will experience. 
• Pray for those we are leaving. This is hard for us, but possibly even harder for our families. Pray that they experience peace that can only come from God.
