Pray for wisdom for myself in making plans for this coming year. I need to think through how to fit school into my life in a way that continues to allow me to live here and doesn’t distract from the Main Thing. I’m also trying to make other decisions about where and how to spend my time, where to invest.

Praise that 2 new brothers were “dunked” this last week. Pray for the Lord to protect and grow these seeds of faith and that they will be fruitful and mature believers.

Pray for local believers who are often the only believers in their family or friend circle. Pray the Lord would help them to love their loved ones well, for their conversations to be seasoned with salt, and that these believers won’t be discouraged when rejected from sharing the hope that has changed their lives.

Pray for R&M who have been denied their request for permission to leave their city 4-5 times over the last year. They desperately need a vacation. Pray the immigration office will finally grant them permission to leave for a few days so they can rest.
