BAUMAN, PHIL & ANDREA (Canada, International roles with SIM) PRAISE: That Andrea has been able to start her coaching course. The original course was cancelled but she was able to join an alternate one. Phil continues to have opportunities to help leadership teams undergo strategic reviews of their ministry plans to ensure relevance in the current context. That a new colleague headed to the Middle East who had been delayed by COVID travel restrictions has been granted a visa and will hopefully arrive this month. For the opportunity to participate in the SERVE virtual missions conference and for the many enquirers who connected with SIM. That despite being in lockdown Liam and Cara's co-op jobs are proceeding, although Liam's has only been part-time. That the active cases of COVID have reduced significantly for our region. PRAY: For Phil and other global leaders as they prepare for and participate in Board meetings later this month. For 4 people who are considering service in the Middle East that God will provide clear direction if this where he would have them. That the enquirers who connected with SIM at the SERVE conference will have clear direction regarding next steps. For Kieran & Mackenzie as they look for a place to live. For Liam to find another co-op job for May through August.
