October in Southern California; a lovely time of year that we often are not around to experience. We are taking it all in, enjoying biking to the office, sitting in our garden for meals and even spending the occasional day at the beach. It is a calm and restorative season for us as we spend an extended period of time here, working down our to-do lists at both work and at home and spending time with people we know and love.

At the Discovery office we are moving from a work-among-the-boxes look to a more inviting atmosphere as we now have time to sort through so much that has remained packed since the move back in March. It is also a time for corporate to do’s (figuring out our new support quota, having our annual job performance reviews, etc.) and…this is the most fun part….calling our Discovery 2012 participants and hearing how they are doing a couple of months into re-entry. It is great to be able to re-connect and pray with them again!

Speaking of prayer – here are some items we would appreciate your praying about with us during the coming month:

      · Staff transitions – One of our Discovery staff members is going to be moving on to something else in the very near future, so John is talking with a couple of people who are considering joining us. We need wisdom and discernment for all concerned.

      · 2013 trips-

o Three are currently lined up; 2 more are still possible but need to come together soon if they are going to happen. Wisdom desired again here….and that God will bring together what is best for His will to be accomplished.

o One of the trips being planned is to Central African Republic; it is a bit complex on a number of fronts. One of the big issues is the need for a French speaking leader. This trip feels very God driven (for just one example, it was not at all “our” idea; we met a translator from CAR while in Ghana who asked us to come and train leaders to do Discovery there,) but there are some obstacles to overcome. So…once again…if you would please pray for wisdom and God’s will to be accomplished here, we would be so appreciative!

Thanks so much for partnering with us in prayer!
