“This season has felt like a roller coaster, yet it has been a steady reminder of God’s faithful provision. I’ve spent time training with my supervisor and local partners as we prepare for upcoming research trips. When plans changed unexpectedly and a partner was no longer able to join, the Lord continued to open doors. I was still able to spend time with a local pastor—encouraging one another, serving together, and engaging people in meaningful conversations about the gospel. In the process, we even became aware of nearby communities we hadn’t previously known were there. When it became clear that I would need a new partner for the next phase of travel, God provided once again by bringing someone I’ve worked with before who is willing to come alongside me for the work ahead. Watching His provision unfold has strengthened my trust and reminded me that this work belongs to Him. Please pray that we will prepare well and work in unity as we train together, that God will grant safety as we travel long distances, and that He will open doors for gospel conversations. Pray also for wisdom as we gather information that will help others faithfully engage these communities in the future.”
