Prayer Requests
After a spate of catching up on past work on the Blog, a few requests for the next few days and weeks.
Tomorrow, 8 June, Andrew will fly to Belo Horizonte for what is hoped to be the first of a regular series of training sessions on exposition with a small group of young pastors. The schedule is intensive, with the workshop on Thursday and Friday throughout the day, and Saturday morning. The theme for this encounter is "Preaching the Epistles" and all the workshop texts are taken from 1 Peter. The weekend is also the anniversary of the Presbyterian Church's youth ministry, and Andrew is also due to preach on Friday night, Sunday morning and Sunday night. He flies back on Monday - to take his class at IBE in the evening.
For both of us, we are now at the stage of the semester when the pile of "things to do" seems to mount up faster than the pace of doing them. Marking and other bureaucratic stuff at IBE takes its toll, and the work in the church is now a real factor. Please pray for stamina to keep going, and discipline and joy in the work.
