Long letters

Alright, gang, these posts are getting pretty long. Sorry, I just type them up hurriedly when I can and don’t really have the chance to cut and prune them like a good journalist should. And there’s so much I want to share with you, so much we need prayer for. Here’s a quick list of prayer requests.

Language learning. I’m getting better, but my homestay and “holiday” in Loki set me back some. And it’s hard!
Relationships. Sometimes I’d like nothing more than to just sit in my house, read the Word and try to shake this tired feeling. So pray that I’ll continue to get out of the house and be super intentional about building relationships, even though it’s really hard with the language barrier.
Focus. I’m fighting distraction. Pray I’ll keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and take every thought captive.
Ministry. We don’t have a formal ministry yet, but keep praying for guidance there and for the ministry our language learning is.
Believers. There aren’t many born-again folks here, but being a believer in Lopit isn’t easy, especially during harvest season when everyone is in the fields by day and drunk by night. Pray for them!

Your prayers are coveted!
