“Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Congo—where conflict continues to uproot, to divide, to rob, to kill. Pray that the Church will face this hardship with the eyes of our Father, who wants His peace—His ‘shalom’—to reign. Pray that the Church in Africa will experience the coming Kingdom, and also contend for it, in all of its fullness. Please pray for me as I travel to Benin for the first time, to meet with a fledgling group of churches. Pray also as I lead an upcoming gathering of USMB leaders with Congolese/American pastors/leaders. Pray for a deepening of relationships.”
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. ~ Colossians 4:6
