summer dream

We enjoyed a sweet visit to the land that we love this summer and we returned very encouraged with future possibilities- a particular dream- for our family continuing to serve in ministry there.  Would you pray that the Lord would lead us with wisdom as he unfolds HIS plan for us both here and there (same country but hundreds of miles apart)?

Security is tense out there:  local believers are often watched and interrogated and foreigners have been forced to leave.  We want to be able to minister there for as long as possible, as the Lord wills and we yearn to be able to live there for stretches of time at least, maybe after a few more years of language study and business development here.  (Would that the Lord give strength to this business here that it would continue as a work we could do there, and give us a reason, a visa, that would allow us to be there.)
