March 18: prayer request

Dear friends and partners,
Will you join us in the days leading up to Easter with special prayers for our team in Kaffrine? Several of the families are preparing for home assignment and dealing with high temperatures every day as well as many other difficulties.

They write:
We seriously need prayer! It seems like every one of the believers here is dealing with some huge trial right now...persecution, sexual sin, a miscarriage...it feels like the Kaffrine church is under spiritual attack. We missionaries are also feeling it, some of us are getting threatening phone calls from people upset about our ministry, some of us are stressed out and fighting with our spouses, all of us are tired and have a lot of work to do in the next three weeks. And we are all praying like crazy that there will be a multiple baptism this coming Sunday morning for Easter. We could really use some extra prayers this week. Thanks!

Other quick notes:
Dave has been in contact a few times from Guinea-- the trip is going well! It's neat how communications from there have improved over the past few years. Please continue to pray for this trip, that their work will be efficient and their time with the mission team will be encouraging. And for safe travel as they return on Thursday as well.

Many blessings and much love to you as you prepare to celebrate the sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In His love,
Mary
