Charlotte Martin - October 2020

MARTIN, CHARLOTTE  (Guelph, ON; Power to Change)  PRAISE:  April-July were busy months but I'm finally getting organized again and I have some breathing room to plan ahead.  I'll continue as the Global Missions Director until summer 2021 and as part of that role I am on the National Leadership Team for P2C-Students. I'm enjoying this new team.  We held our annual Summit retreat online Sep 26. 466 students attended, this is 50% lower than normal, but we are happy with the turnout since it was online.  PRAY:  Our teams that normally go to East Asia and Desert Rain are still in Canada. We are praying that it would be safe to send the DR team in October. Pray that our leadership approves this plan. The EA team will leave earliest Jan 2021.  Pray that our Canadian campus teams would know how to effectively gather and care for students when they can't have group gatherings, and classes are all online.  We are seeking God's guidance about how to plan for 2021 mission trips.
