Heather Gordy Just another weblog Please pray for believers in this country as they live in environments where people continue to worship spirits that are not from God. Specifically, during times of circumsision for the children in the village, believers struggle on what to do. If they include their children in these rituals there will certainly be animistic spiritual practices. If they do not allow their children to participate they and their children will not be respected in the village and will be missing a very important cultural rite of passage. They may even face threats from people in their village.
Pray for me and a co-worker as we begin formal language and cultural study this week with language partners. There are many details involved. Pray for our family as well as they adjust to our new habits and working schedules. Pray for all the missionaries here who are working to learn languages so that they can communicate God’s love and truth to people here who are lost.
Pray that our organization and all the missionaries here will grow more in unity together and especially with our Senegalese brothers and sisters.
You can continue to reguard previous prayer requests for basic needs that will continue…health, money matters, etc.
Praise God for His faithfulness and loving care in my life! It is a joy to worship with my Senegalese brothers and sisters here.
