MARTIN, CHARLOTTE (Guelph, ON; Power to Change) PRAISE: All of our mission trips have finished. Each trip went well, there were no major crises and the student participants had great experiences. Early June I visited the Praxis Ottawa mission trip. I enjoyed participating in ministry activities, getting to know the students, and doing a retreat with them. I have two weeks of vacation this month to spend time with family and recharge. PRAY: Some of our mission trip staff teams struggled with conflict and others came home really tired. Pray for reconciliation between staff who struggled to work well together and pray for rest for our staff after busy mission trips. I am planning a global missions session at our staff conference in August. Pray that this session would be helpful and inspirational for staff. My team is seeking to diversify our mission trip offerings for next year. Pray for us as we explore some new opportunities.
