At least three of the men who have given their lives to Christ at the Crossroads rehab center are still in need to psychological and emotional healing. One in particular has been on antidepressants and sleep aids since he was 5 years old. Please pray for supernatural soul care to take place.

There's are donors (churches) that made commitments and either didn't start giving OR have stopped. Also, there are those who increased their commitments on paper and didn't start sending in increased amounts. Following up with these!

Joe and I have been asked to help facilitate a monthly cohort for our fellow missionary colleagues who are currently itinerating. This is a time of fellowship where veterans will speak into our lives and encourage new global workers as they prepare to share the gospel all over Africa. It's exciting to be a part of the Africa One House family. Pray for our next meeting this Saturday and for our missionary family as we work together to see an increasing redeemed and transformed Africa.
