Walkers - March 27, 2008

Hi,

We just returned from a wonderful 5 days at a mission hospital out in the country. 45 acre wooded campus overlooking rice paddies and winding rivers. Just what we needed for a rest and seeking God. We read some books about God's work in Bangladesh and it stirred me up to think more about going back to Namatota. Please PRAY for wisdom as we consider the future. Also for visas.

Going back to Dhaka (capital of Bangladesh where we are living) was difficult to take. I felt kind of depressed going back to the big, congested and polluted city. Also we moved into a hotel and just have a small room, after having a good sized apartment before. A new apartment was rented for us. PRAY that they can renovate and equip it soon so that we can move in early in April. I'm so thankful that Jeannie is a stable, content and flexible woman. In these times of change and stress, she is a great encouragement to me.

PRAY for final preparation for the Learning that LASTS workshop next week. So much of this course is in my head (having taught in > 30 times) that I have not written down, that it is a challenge for the interns. All of the participants and 3 of 4 interns speak English as a second or third language. This will be a big challenge for all of us. PRAY that we will experience unity and work together with one mind and heart.

Blessings,

Roland
