Roomies

So this past we received many new team members, 10 in all. Nine of them are here to complete 2.5 year terms in order to produce a Chronological Bible Storying Set just like Sarah, Michelle, and I. There will be working among three people groups who have yet to hear the Good News in their heart language. However, the last new guy is going to be really special to our specific team.         His name is Ben. He will be here for around 3 months. He will be specifically working with Sarah, Michelle, and I. What will be his job you ask? He will be assisting us in completing our stories. He will also be doing some research in the capitol city finding more and more “Nomad” people. This will involve spending time in the markets and building relationships in order to find out which neighborhoods have a population of “Nomad” people.

AND THEN there is the best news of all!! Ben is going to be living with Eli in his home. Around two months ago we started to look for a place for Ben to live. After, our first choice fell through the Father led us to ask Eli if Ben could be his roomie. Eli and his older brother (the landlord) agreed almost immediately. Last week, we were at Eli’s house eating dinner and we began talking about Ben. Eli asked, “Does he know a lot about the Bible?” We answered, “Yes, he does.” Then Eli smiled and said, “Good, I have a lot of questions.”

So please Remember Ben and Eli in your pr@yers:

 For Ben’s quick and easy transition to African culture

 For his ears and tongue as he learns the “Nomad” language

 For boldness and courage to speak out in his new surrounding

 For the Father to guide his words as he answers Eli’s many questions

 For Eli an open heart to the Good News

 For courage and strength to follow

 For his family and friends that live in and around his house
