MARTIN, CHARLOTTE (Guelph, ON; Power to Change) PRAISE: Despite a stomach bug hitting everyone, our February mission trip to Honduras went well. They were able to support the local ministry through helping with small maintenance projects, doing community outreach to children and youth, and some nursing students helped run medical clinics. We are almost finished processing mission trip applications. We currently have 50 students accepted for our 6 spring and summer trips. February 23 I got to do a retreat day with some local colleagues. It was spiritually refreshing and renewing. PRAY: We would love to send 1-2 international interns to serve with our partnership in Desert Rain from September 2024 to July 2025. The deadline to apply is March 21. We currently don't know of many interested people. Pray for God to raise up 1-2 people for this opportunity. Pray for students as they fundraise and prepare for spring/summer mission trips. Pray also for the trip directors who are busy figuring out logistics and making plans. Pray for good flight prices for all our trips. Currently I am planning how to lead my team through our spring strategic planning process. Pray for wisdom and creativity.
