Will pray for the young lady's safety during her trip, and for many souls to be saved by her testimony in her home country.
BTW tajgirvan, I recently received an email from Steve Godbold's parents. I'm not sure of their age, but I am 71 and I know they are both a few years older than I am. They have spent well over half their lives taking the gospel to the remote tribes of the Sahara desert, but even at their age they are still going back for another term of mission work among the desert tribes they know so well.
I am adding the text of the email below this paragraph, and if anyone reading it feels led to pray for this dear couple's safety and health in the same Islamic nation where their son was held captive for months please remember them before the Throne.
Dear Praying Friends, Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Monday morning we leave for the airport and Chad. We are still packing bags but it is coming together. -Please pray that we will remember everything and that check ins and flights will go well. Remember our health as we travel in cold airports and exposed to everybody's coughs and colds.
-Lift us up before the Lord as we get plugged back in with the mission and started with visas, truck insurance, truck permits, getting tires on the truck and trailer and battery for the truck to run, set up solar system and many other administrative things. Security is always a big question, personally and nationally and religiously.
-We need for you to call to the Lord for the ministry that we go to Chad to do. That the scheduling would work out, the believers will have ready hearts to learn how to be friends with their M. neighbors and share Christ with them in such a way that the neighbor will hear and respond. For traveling mercies as we go to a church each day.
-That American Christians would share Christ with their neighbors to relieve us so that we can go to Chad.
A very blessed Christmas to you. Don't let this Christmas get away from you without worshipping Jesus.
Because of that Name, Ann & Cash
Missionarys are definitely called! Steve's parents are amazing people! They will have my prayers.
Matt and his wife were visiting missionary friends in Kenya in 2005 and the conditions were unbelievable. Thank you for all your prayers my FRiend! Any word on Steve?
