Pray for favor with customs to release our container with Tabernacle supplies from the border. Joe and the team have been working and waiting for 3 days to get the final paperwork signed. Pray for whoever is holding the paper to sign and release it so the work can continue and our people can come home.

Pray for our boys to make friends in our new area. Pray for Jessica as she takes her credentials exams at the end of Sept., and Jamaar as he begins his final classes for credentialing and to finish his degree.

“Let us not give up meeting together…let us encourage one another.” Hebrews 10:25 Please praise God with us and pray with us: *The annual meeting of the board of the Facultad has been convened this week. They are enthusiastic about the exploration of several issues: the positive use of AI and preventing its abuse; developing an integrated program of both in-person and online classes; growing the number of professors to meet the increasing applications for training; and always maintaining the essential focus on proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please pray for the leading and work of the Holy Spirit in our ministry. *The Theological English course is progressing well for our students who are seeking better language skills required for advanced theological studies. Thank you! “No dejemos de asistir a nuestras reuniones…sino animémonos unos a otros.” Hebreos 10:25 Por favor, alaba al Señor con nosotros y ora con nosotros: *La reunión anual de la junta de la Facultad ha sido convocado esta semana. Hay entusiasmo al respecto a la exploración de algunos asuntos, tales como: el uso positivo de la IA y la prevención de su abuso; el desarrollo de un programa integrado de clases presenciales y otras en línea; el crecimiento del número de profesores para satisfacer el aumento de estudiantes interesados; y siempre manteniendo el enfoque esencial de proclamar el evangelio de Jesucristo. Por favor, ore por la dirección y obra del Espíritu Santo en nuestro ministerio. *El curso de Inglés Teológico está progresando bien para los estudiantes interesados en mejorar sus habilidades de lectura en inglés requerida para el estudio teológico avanzado. ¡Muchas gracias!

Pray for us as we establish a healthy rhythm of life/work and Sabbath here.

We will be helping our team leaders to host the first 2 short term teams from the US. Pray for all of the logistics as we prepare for their arrival. This includes housing, transport, all of the Tabernacle site prep, outreach/evangelism opportunities as well as planning for their needs and safety while in country. Everything is still new to us but God has helped us to get established and learn so much already. We know He has a plan for these teams and their time here in Guinea.

Both Joe and Cyndi have been invited to preach at local churches in the month of September. We want to be ready to do so in French. Our current level of french is basic and conversation, but we are working to grow our ability to preach and teach in it. Pray for us as we are preparing for our memories, pronunciation and for clarity in our presentations of the gospel.

Matthew and Abigail are both working hard a school. Pray for wisdom, and good time management. Also pray with us that they both would hear the Lord's voice more clearly day by day.

The National Church leaders have identified 54 locations that need Tabernacles. Our desire is to construct the first 7-10 before the end of November. Pray for the funds and man power to get these first Tabs done soon. Each Tab currently cost $10,000. Pray also for us as we are looking ways to source more materials in country to bring that cost down.

We've been reaching out in our neighbourhood and building relationships, but we need God's plan for the next step. We want to begin engaging people with the Gospel in a more formal way. Please pray with us for God's timing, location, and method.

This is my first time serving as a staff pastor in a church, and there's a lot of work that needs to get done to help these ministries thrive. Please pray for the youth group I'll be leading, the children's church I'll be developing, and my activity in helping the church's online and outreach presence. And pray for the students and members of the church when I return to serve in the church!

Wisdom as we reflect on the impact of our month-long ministry trip to the Philippines, Thailand, and a sensitive nation. Many connections were initiated that can be built on for the future.

Good Health - our last trip kept us non-stop on the go for over a month.
