Wallenstein, happy new year to you! I hope your 2022 is off to a good start. My 2022 has been rather uneventful so far, and I am thankful for a quiet start to the year. I have been enjoying time to organize myself and make plans for the year ahead.
Here's how you can join me in prayer at the start of a new year.
MISSION TRIPS
1. We have 45 students in the process of applying for May 2022 mission trips, but very few applications have been submitted. Pray that more students would finish and submit their applications by the January 31st deadline. Pray also for more men to apply for mission trips.
2. We have national mission trips planned for Edmonton, Montreal, and Guelph. Pray that each of these trips would be full with 10+ students each.
3. Our international mission trips are planned for Desert Rain, Vietnam, and Japan. Currently none of these countries have their borders open to us. Pray that borders would open and stay open. Pray for wisdom to know how to adjust plans as necessary.
TEAMS OVERSEAS
4. We had to cancel a care trip scheduled this month to our team in Thailand. Pray for the team's encouragement, perseverance, and peace of heart. Pray also for wisdom to know if we should reschedule the trip for later in the spring.
THE WORLD
5. From January 17 - February 6 we are praying for every country in the world. Go to p2c.sh/prayfortheworld, choose a country to pray for and join us!
Thank you for praying for my care trip to North Africa in November. Highlights from the trip were:
Catching up with some P2C alumni serving with another organization.
Hearing the full stories of the two students who made decisions to follow Jesus this past year.
Having fun with our team there and getting to know the kids on the team.
Tea with some local believers who led a house church (it was only my second time talking with local believers).
