Annual Meeting

It's time once again for our annual regional meeting, when all the IMB missionaries in West Africa get together for training, worship and fellowship. This year it's right here in Abidjan, so we don't have to travel far! In fact, although most people will stay in the hotel, those of us who live here will stay in our own homes. Our friends Tim and Kate from Senegal will be staying with us, too, so that will be fun.

We're really looking forward to spending time with lots of people from around the region, but it will be draining to be so busy all day every day for a week. We'll also have to get up early to drive to the hotel and likely stay there till night time to drive back.

We would appreciate you lifting up this time for us:

• Pray it will be a challenging and encouraging time for all involved
• Pray we'll stay energized despite all the comings and goings
• Pray for the health of the whole group (whenever big groups like this get together, illness seems inevitable!)
• Pray the Holy Spirit would guide our conversations so that we'll be an encouragement and blessing to everyone we talk with
