I am about a month into the study of Galatians that I have been asked to lead for one of our partner ministries in south Asia. The plan is to continue meeting weekly with these fellow believers through the end of May. It has been encouraging to spend time in the Bible with them and to hear how the Lord has drawn some of them to himself out of backgrounds of Hinduism and other worldviews. Please pray for these believers, many of whom will have opportunities to pass along what they are receiving to people in other contexts and places.
I’m also preparing for an online summit on International Theological Education, which will take place on May 28-29. I will be speaking on the topic of “The Biblical Authors as International Theological Educators.” This event will include other ABWE representatives and is designed to equip and others who are involved in theological education and pastoral training around the world.
Our area was hit with a strong wind/rainstorm late Saturday night, which knocked out power at our church property and thousands of homes. We have electricity at our facility again, but some are still lacking it. Unfortunately, this affected our ability to gather on Easter Sunday. Some members got together the next day for an “Easter Monday” service.
Family events are slower this time of year (which is a nice breather). Our kids are about five weeks away from summer break, which they are anticipating.
We have had a decrease in our support level recently and are in need of about an additional $300/month in support for our ABWE ministries. If you know of others who might be interested in hearing about our international work, please help us get connected. Our giving page is https://give.abwe.org/worker/david-and-brandi-prairie.
