Update from the Martin's

Enjoying continental Southeast Asia’s most southern point.

Your prayers and support for our family are so meaningful. Here's what is happening in our life so far in 2020.

Highlights
- We moved 35km from the east to the west of Singapore. We are now within walking distance of the kids' school and a train station. All around our quality of life has gone up and we are enjoying meeting lots of young familiies in our new condo complex.
- Meredith's parents and Russ' dad and sister visited in January. We enjoyed making special memories and showing everyone around Singapore. 
- Heath and Wyatt have birthdays in March and we are having fun celebrating their milestones.

Lowlights
- The father of Wyatt's best friend at school died suddenly from a stroke this weekend. We had just started getting to know the family and less than a week ago had a meaningful trip to the library together. As far as we know they are not followers of Jesus. Pray for us as we seek to journey with them during this season of grief.
- Two of our closest "friend families", one from Australia and one from America have moved back from their assignments in Singapore. It's hard, especially for our kids, to invest deeply in friendships and then experience the change and loss of these relationships.
- Covid19... all the extra restrictions, precautions and attention required to navigate living near the epicenter of this global outbreak. Early in the outbreak there was a run on groceries and staple items here with wait times exceeding one week for deliveries.

As you pray for us, please ask the Father for His strength to be resilient amongst the various relational changes and losses, expecially as we guide our kids through them. It's a price we are learning to embrace as part of being Christ's ambassadors in this part of the world.

Thank you for continuing to stand with us in leading the next generation of digital missions. We'll update you on our ministry highlights soon.
