Russ & Meredith Martin - Singapore

Praying to Begin 2024

Dear WBC Friends,

Thanks for praying along with us. Russ' work pass has been renewed and we're gearing up for another season of ministry from our base in Singapore.

This morning I was meditating on Acts 2.24 and how death could not contain Jesus' power. I'm praying that God's Spirit will work in my life and through our family in the coming year.

As we look towards 2024, we have some big initiatives quickly coming over the horizon.
1. In September, Lausanne's 4th Congress on World Evangelisation will convene 5,000+ people from 200 countries in Korea. Our team is running all the marketing, communication, IT and digital strategy.

2. In October, Indigitous will again host our global hackathon, helping spur local communities around the world to innovatively develop digital ways to bring the gospel to new people, places and spaces.

Many days it seems that there is 3-4x more stuff coming at us and our teams than we have the capacity for. Pray for discernment and focus to work only on what is best and necessary.

We're off to a slow start as Meredith isolates herself with a mild case of COVID. Pray for a speedy recovery as she's essential to our family and team life.

Thank you for your friendship and partnership as we lead the next generation of missions in a digital world. We look forward to sharing how God works through the initiatives we are humbled to lead.

Russ (for Meredith, Wyatt, Gwenyth, Heath)
