There is a song we sing that says " to everything that YOU are doing that we cannot see, we say AMEN!" In the time before a trip Richard puts in many hours connecting with people by email and phone. He is looking and listening to find where God is working and what is ready for harvesting or bringing to light. It is a time of perseverence, focus and listening.
In the meantime we are blessed with feedback from the "new plantings."
"I am greatly enjoying my relationship with my international student. ... I think everyone else is enjoying theirs, too. What a blessing this has been to CMF." ( AM)
"I have been challenged recently by a few things. The first is to make prayer more of a priority and necessity, and to encourage others to pray for international students. " (HH)
"We really appreciate you keeping us in your prayers." (AS)
