Phil & Andrea Bauman - SIM

October 29 2024

Thank you for your prayers for our time in South Asia and our travel home. We arrived home last Wednesday night, in time to celebrate Meridith’s graduation on Friday from her Masters in Public Health, and to spend time with all our children, and baby Thea over the weekend.

Today Phil is on his way to Panama for the in-person gathering of the International Leadership Team. Here are some items for prayer over the coming week:

• Praise for our time in Asia.

• Praise for time with our family.

• Safe, uneventful travel to Panama for Phil.

• Wisdom as Phil leads the ILT time together – their first in-person meeting since Phil became International Director. Please pray that their time together will be very encouraging and refreshing.

• Pray for Andrea at home while Phil’s away. Pray that she stays healthy and that everything works.

• Andrea’s dad has an appointment with the oncology team next Tuesday when he will find out if he needs any further treatment. Please pray that none is needed.

• Pray for comfort for Jackie Shroyer and her 5 kids. Beau Shroyer, husband and father, was killed in a violent criminal attack in Angola last Friday. Pray too for those in leadership that are seeking to care for the family in the midst of this crisis.

Thanks for praying for us!
Phil & Andrea
