21/6/24 – Departure

We’re on our way! The last few months God has been preparing our hearts and minds for what he’s is doing in Indonesia and we’ve been looking forward to what he has in store for us as we prepare to serve him and his people. Here are just a few of the many ways God has answered prayer- please join us in thanking Him! 

  • Thank God for His abundant provision. Please ask that we’ll steward the finances that he’s given us well, lol oh for opportunities to use it for the growth of his church 
  • Thank God for producing a unity in our team to love each other and the people we’re partnering with in Indonesia. 
  • Thank God for the preparation he’s given us, and for the many people who have walked with us, encouraging and challenging our assumptions and blind spots in this prep.

Here are some things we’d love prayer for the first couple of days:

  • Safe travel, smooth visa on arrival process, and perseverance to keep loving each other over the 18 or so hours to our destination
  • Our first day will be full of orientation to the field, meeting the team members, and a short language lesson – please ask that God would help us in all of this to fix our eyes on him, especially when we’re overwhelmed.
  • Please ask that God would help us communicate with each other and the team were joining well, being sensitive to different cultural contexts.

If you’d like to help the team financially, please make any contributions directly to our team account.
