Prayer and Praise Updates

Praise:
  • Life has been a lot easier in this second half of our term. Returning from Canada was much smoother and easier that the first time we came, and both in work and in life outside work, things feel much easier and more familiar. Though it may seem silly, we praise God for things like better Internet, reliable energy, and filled potholes!
  • The end of the school year was very enjoyable, and it felt like everyone left on a very positive, happy note. Students were enthusiastic for their year-end presentations to parents, and we had our first graduate--Junior--prove to all the other students that it is possible to finish and move on! He even went to the US for his graduation ceremony through the University of Nebraska High School!
  • The school is also moving into a different building and this is exciting for us as it is larger and has more access to amenities. Praise God for a young German teacher coming this school year, and pray that the transition goes well for everyone.
  • We've had great safety and impact in the last few months of flying--always a reason to praise God. Praise Him for lives healed through many of our medical flights!
Prayer:
  • We recently had a team meeting to discuss future directives for MAF Angola, so pray for wisdom and open doors for our strategic plans! It was good to come together and discuss where we'd like to see MAF go over the next few years.
  • Pray for a busy month of flying and maintenance coming--August is sure to fly by with training, and a new propellor for one of the 182s.
  • Pray for our German teacher, who is due to arrive in August. She is waiting for her visa! Pray she will be a good fit with us at the school for the year.
  • Pray for all our key partners--CEML hospital, the churches of Angola, and SIM--that we may bring glory to God here in Angola!
  • Pray for more workers--particularly doctors and teachers--to develop a heart for Angola and join us here.
