Blessed new year to you! I pray your new year has started out well with God satisfying your hunger to know Him better and to continue growing in the image of His Son.
I am so grateful to have such an amazing team of people behind me! You have stood with me year by year and now some of you have responded to my request to move at least a portion of your support to the Native Staff Development Fund or to a specific Native staff member. When I am gone, my legacy will live on through these people whom you are currently supporting. God continues to abundantly meet my financial needs.
As we embark on a new year, I want to ask you to pray specifically for the staff of Indian Bible College. Last semester was a rough one. It is evident that Satan is alive and well and doing his best to destroy the plan of God. He will not win! But in the meantime, several of our staff members are struggling with serious, potentially life-threatening physical ills that, for some, have dragged on for years. All of us fight against pride, anger, unforgiveness, and the same sins you wrestle with. Please pray with us:
- That we would be united, modeling the larger Body of Christ by caring for and loving one another.
- That God would bless the marriages of those who are married and grant wisdom for those raising children in this challenging time.
- That we who are not married (half the staff) would reject loneliness and seek God’s priorities each day.
- That we would each turn away from sin and humbly follow Christ.
- That God would mercifully heal those who are struggling physically and, in the meantime, continue to use these trials to perfect the image of Christ in them.
- That God would provide times of deep rest during a battle that sometimes appears endless.
- That God would be our Hope and Rock.
Gratefully,
Martha
