I’m thankful for God’s sustaining grace through these first six months, and I’d really value your prayers for a good balance of study, socialising, and siestas in August - and above all, that I’d keep seeking Jesus for the deep refreshment only he can bring. In the past month I have travelled to regional areas and spent time in the only evangelical church in an area of 38,000 people. My ongoing prayer is that God would raise up and send out his people to be lights in these towns and villages—and that he would guide me, too, in the years ahead. Please pray that I’d continue to learn language with a disciplined yet light-hearted spirit - willing to try, and fail, and try again!
