Prayer update

Hmm...updating this blog on a weekly basis is proving to be a bit more challenging than anticipated! As we continue to do our best, here are some of our current prayer requests:

. Most of the Discovery teams for 2011 are now lined up .and somehow we have wound up with almost twice as many trips (7) and twice as many participant openings (74) as last year.  Hmmm.kind of wondering how we are going to pull this off with the same number of staff involved..there's a prayer request for you!  It's actually pretty amazing, since two months ago when some of the trips we had thought would happen fell through, we were really wondering where we were going to be having Discovery trips going to instead.

. We would also ask you to  pray that the team leaders for these trips will all be confirmed before the end of 2010 so that we can begin our team leader training in a timely manner.  Speaking of which.

. Next week Shevawn and Justin (the director for GetGlobal, http://www.wycliffe.org/getglobal another short-term mission program of Wycliffe Bible Translators) will be working together to put our team leader training materials on a different website, one that is designed for e-classes.  Justin has participated in another course on this site already, and we think it will help deal with some of the problems we had training off of the previous website, which was primarily designed for social networking.  We would appreciate your prayers as we prepare for that week and then as we work on this project.  Justin is in Dallas, so he and Shevawn will be working on this via phone conferencing together; Shevawn is really looking forward to collaborating with Justin on this project.

Thanks so much for your continued partnering with us!
