We’re sorry for the length of time since our last update. As you know, last month was a very busy month with 39 people arriving in the space of less than 2 weeks. We praise God for raising up an army of dozens of people who have begun relationships with nearly all of our new refugees, as well as helped with donating furniture, setting up apartments and taking the new arrivals to important appointments within their first week here. Especially in light of the holiday break, we praise God for how well everything went.
There are also many other exciting developments. We are currently talking with several partners about some very exciting possibilities for connecting churches to specific mobilizers to get a whole new level of work going among these refugees. It’s best not to get into all of the details until things have actually started, but please be praying for God’s Spirit to bring unity among all who will have an important meeting at the end of this month, and for many to get involved, resulting in increased assistance in helping these newcomers learn to navigate life here – a strategic living out and sharing of the gospel to them.
We’ve recently heard from several church partners who tell us of a group of Bhutanese who have recently become believers and will soon be baptized. Praise God for this. Please also pray for our Sudanese friends. We spent several hours with them last night and they are doing very well. We are asking God to bring them to a place of being ready to hear the Gospel.
It’s been truly overwhelming to see all the many ways that God has been moving – both in new connections with those who want to be involved in this work, as well as in the hearts of the people who have come. Thank you for your continued prayer!
