Arriving tomorrow

Tomorrow we receive a team from N. Ireland. They will be here for 3 weeks getting a view of the work OMS do here (as all teams do!). There are 11 people on the team and Andrew is one of the missionaries assigned to pick them up. He has to be at the airport at 7am. We will provide lunch and for the next 3 weeks we will be involved from time to time in transportation, translation and introducing them to the work of MEFI.

Pray for the team as they come. Pray that they will have a good time, for their safety and their health. Pray too that as they see what God is doing here that they will be encouraged and that God will touch their hearts to be involved further as He would have them to be.

Pray for us as we take on a little extra responsibility. Pray for strength and ability to continue with the things we are already involved in as well.

One of the team members, Gary, will be staying on after the others leave. He is here on a one year term an is assigned to MEFI. Initially he will principally be involved in language learning. Obviously he needs lots of prayer as he gets used to the country, the ministry and our crazy bunch of missionaries. Pray too for our wisdom as we involve him in MEFI and integrate him into the team.
