Desert greetings from Allat!

We are on our last full day here in Allat, so here is a short prayer update!

As I said yesterday, the Sonlife seminars on Friday and Saturday went extremely well and were very well received. It has been amazing to discover how much God has been using this team and the one that is now in Bamenda to accomplish this work.

Please continue to pray:

- that the seed that was planted in the training would continue to grow in these youth workers and the pastors that attended
- thank God that they all arrived safely home after up to 8 hours of travel yesterday
- thank God for how He used us in 3 different churches here in the Allat area this morning; my personal experience in Taram was such a blessing. The people were so loving in that little hut of a church. And Godwill Ncham and I were able to talk with the young people of the church after the service and challenge them on their role in the church today, not only tomorrow.
- Please pray for the other team as they have finished their seminar in Bamenda where over 50 youth workers attended. For us here, we ended up having 35 here in Allat; considering that we are in the bush, it was an excellent turn-out.
- Pray for our 8-9 hour car ride on hot, dry, dusty dirt roads all the way back to Bamenda tomorrow.
- Pray for the important meetings we will have with the Evangelism Director on Tuesday
- Thank God for a very good conversation regarding the future of what this partnership between NAB youth workers and CBC youth workers will look like.

Again, thank you for your prayers. God has been doing incredible things here. And, to top it off, we are really enjoying Allat! It’s a great desert-like climate in a great setting here at the mission station and the Hohns have been great to be with as well.

In His Grip,
