Prayer Requests
-
Pray for us as we continue to transition back to life in Canada after living internationally for 22 years. Also, that we will adjust smoothly to our Canada-based roles with CBM.

Praise God for the Nairobi Accord, an agreement in which our East Africa partners, along with CBM, commit to support one another through encouraging, equipping and working together in joint efforts. The partners include: Kenya (ACC&S), South Sudan (FEBAC), Rwanda (AEBR), Democratic Republic of the Congo (CBCA and CEBCE) and Central Africa Republic (AEBEC). It is wonderful to see the power of partnership in action!

Keep our Africa partners in your prayers. There are several who are facing difficult times. The two partners in DR Congo (CBCA & CEBCE) are facing situations of great insecurity, violence and political uncertainty. A couple of partners are dealing with internal organizational struggles. And at least one partner is experiencing great challenges with strict government regulations.
