  • Spiritual Warfare and the Real Battle

    Recently, our children have felt the presence of spiritual warfare (more so than the normal amount that missionaries and their children experience). Your prayers for them would be appreciated as they engage in the battle for the souls of others.

    My discussions with my kids and some of my colleagues has reminded me that the real battle is not for the short wave license or NGO status, but for the hearts of people to know, worship and glorify the Lord. Please pray that God, in His way and in His time would reach the many people in West Africa who do not know Him.

    Please continue to pray for the short wave license, NGO status and more laborers for Benin. Should God desire that TWR use other means to reach West Africa, pray that TWR would follow this leading.

    Thank you very much for your prayers for our trip to South Africa. Donna had a wonderful time reconnecting with old friends and colleagues and connecting with new ones. Many of the meetings went well, however, there were a few points where I was hoping for more clarity before we left, pray that these points can be clarified in the coming days. Also pray for the arrival of our kids in Benin this coming weekend for their month long school break.

  • Travels

    Donna and I are in Cotonou to follow up with the shortwave license, NGO status and then travel to South Africa. Upon arriving a man who has been helping TWR called requesting that TWR submit a letter to a government office in Cotonou concerning TWR’s shortwave application. Praise God with us for the divine timing of this call with our arrival in Cotonou.

    Today (March 2, 2012) I will be contacting and seeing various people about the shortwave license and NGO status. Please pray for God’s guidance and continued providence.

    Tonight Donna and I start our trip to South Africa with a 12-hour layover in Kenya with our kids. Please pray for the travel logistics (on-time flights, fast processing at immigration and customs and minimum Nairobi traffic) so we can have more time with our kids. Pray for our time with our kids.

    After our 12 hours in Kenya Donna and I travel on to Johannesburg for various meetings. Praise God that Donna is able to join me on this trip. Both Donna and I will be involved with various meetings on a number of important topics. Please pray for these meetings.
