Completion of MAF Orientation

What a fantastic two weeks of orientation! Praise the Lord for the opportunity to participate and His provision of good health for the duration of the program. No migraines, no vertigo, no illness of any kind.

Here's a picture of those of us who stayed on for the second week to include MAF staff (Gillian and Annie on the far right), the brave and valient grandparents who provided childcare (Brian & Carol, and Mars), and the kids of the missionary families involved.

Please pray for Adrian, Lindsay, Aaron, and Morgan as they prepare for service with MAF in Kenya.

Please pray for Luc, Malaina, Jalil, and Adele as they prepare for service with MAF in Uganda.

Please pray for Vicky as she prepares to marry John who is already in serving Uganda. (Vicky, I just realized I don't have an individual photo of you! 1000 apologies...Vickie is standing next to Karen in the group picture.)

We all became very well acquainted over the two week course and look forward to staying in touch with each other as God moves us to our respective areas of calling and specific fields of service. We gained loads of information about the realities and cross-cultural considerations of service in a foreign field, were challenged in ways we couldn't imagine, and we encouraged spiritually for the tasks ahead.

Please pray for us we prepare for meetings with MAF headquarters staffs in Folkestone on Monday and in Ashford on Tuesday. We'll soon be on our way to Ashford to spend the weekend with Rachel and her husband Jamie. Rachel is Personnel Manager with MAF United Kingdom. We were blessed to host Rachel in our home last summer when she came out for meetings at MMS. Our internet access may be somewhat limited over the course of the remainder of our visit. We'll post as we can and as we are able.

Thanks for checking in and staying in touch. We're blessed to have you as part of our ministry and are excited to have you visiting our blog. May God's richest blessings be upon you.
