Brian’s Transformational Leadership class last term discussing how to contextualize leading change in different regions of Asia.

Prayer Requests!

     Besides Pastor Tandin, you can pray for us as we start a new trimester this week – and honestly both of us are fried and feel pretty run down.  We both have been doing too much and probably need to slow it down a bit.

I (Christine) am teaching my heaviest load so far as I will teach the class on relational evangelism for the Partners in Ministry Program.  I will be teaching them to share their faith, catalyze spiritual conversations through question asking and dialogue, and training them in the basics of evangelism. It’s a lot on top of homeschooling on all the special projects (playground) I have going on so please pray!

 Brian is teaching the foundational leadership course, servant-steward leadership, to most of the first year students this trimester. The class includes 5 students from the Marines who are studying leadership and also learning how to do military ministry. As common now as “leadership training” is in the U.S., this is the first time many of these leaders are ever being exposed to leadership training grounded in the Scriptures and the person of Christ.  He’s also teaching a class on the theology and practice of community and relationships.

And please pray for the family.  The last couple weeks, ironically after our last glowing update, has been tough and a little discouraging for the family. I think we’ve all been ready to buy return plane tickets at multiple points over the past week or two. Pray for us, pray for Morgan still as it feels like we’ve taken a step back with her here the past couple weeks.  But my parents are coming again in a week so pray for our time with them and that it renews and recharges us a bit!

Brian will share next week all that God did during ministry week with his small group, but for now thank you so much for praying and making a difference in the world through partnering and praying. We continue to be amazed at what God is doing here!

Love,
Christine for Brian and family
