Since our last update, we met with a few more churches and organizations who all gave us a similar report: their heart is for evangelism among young people but they struggle to know how to reach them and how to train effective youth leaders. We are looking forward to joining their vision in the future and begin to help with new ideas that worked in similar cultures across Eastern Europe and to provide much needed manpower and leadership equipping.
On Saturday morning, we met with a group of University students who are a part of a missional Christian organization on campus. Our time with them was so fun and refreshing for both us and the Millers and we hope to see some of them again, granted we are able to make the big move before they graduate.
In the evening, we had the privilege of meeting an American family who is working at an International School about 1 1/2 hours outside of Leipzig. We (and I am sure they) would appreciate your prayers as we ask God if He would have us work together in the future.
We will leave tomorrow much encouraged and excited about the ministry potential in our future. Please, pray for smooth travel back home. My cold is only slowly getting better and I experienced what we believe to have been Braxton-hicks contractions yesterday. While our spirits have been rejuvenated, it seems my pregnant body is under a lot of stress.
Please, pray for us as we get back into our routine at home, fight jet lag once again, and seek to juggle ministry and fundraising as usual. Pray for God to provide the needed monthly financial support in His perfect timing and give us peace about it. The need here is great and we believe we can help, so we are returning home more eager than ever to leave for the mission field long-term.
