Mission-Focused Praises & Requests
• Please pray for the rising need for counselors who can support missionaries and their children across Africa. Many families serve in emotionally and spiritually demanding contexts and are in need of Christ-centered care and counselling.
• Rift Valley Academy staffing shortages:
Rift Valley Academy continues to face significant understaffing, placing strain on the ministry to nearly 500 missionary’s kids. Pray for the Lord to call teachers, dorm staff, doctors, administrators and counselors who can strengthen this vital support system for gospel work across the continent.
• Why we are in the U.S. right now:
We praise God for opening the door for Andrew to begin a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Masters—an essential step toward serving the counseling needs of missionaries and their children more effectively at RVA. The Billy Graham Scholarship and the missionary furlough homes have been clear signs of God’s provision in enabling this season of training.
Personal Praises & Requests
• Family transition: This year has stretched us in many ways, but we are grateful for God’s steady care. Packing our home, transnational move, and resetting up home with toddlers has been no small undertaking. Our sons transition into preschool has been a blessing, and our family is slowly settling into new rhythms. Continue to pray for community!
• Andrew’s health concerns: Andrew continues to experience autoimmune flare-ups that make his academic load more challenging. He is recovering from an abrasion in his eye that has been slow to heal. Please pray for physical healing, strength, and endurance in this crucial season of preparation.
• Growing roots in Wheaton: Please pray that we would be able to establish deeper roots in the Wheaton community—living missionally during our time in the U.S and finding a local church to invest in it.
