On retreat and moving on...
It’s my first visit to Jordan and my third visit to Egypt as CMS Ireland Regional Mission Partner. Find out what my plans are – where I’ll be visiting and who I’ll be meeting during my visit.
I would greatly value your prayers for the visit, specifically for a time of spiritual refreshment for over 20 CMS Mission Partners attending the retreat in Jordan which includes CMS Ireland Mission Partners David and Gillian Maganda and family. Then also for my visit to Egypt and specifically for my meetings with the Bishop, the Irish Ambassador, Rajkumar and Primila in Port Said as well as the various project visits.
Poppy's Marvellous Medicine...
Sometimes, when it comes to prayer, we are surprisingly timid. I am often struck by the difference in how we pray and how our partners pray. It occurs to me that learning from our partners about how God has responded to the needs of His people around the World is one way to be encouraged to greater boldness and intimacy in prayer.
One of our Short Term Mission Partners, Poppy Spens, recently shared with me how God responded more directly than she ever imagined to a prayer request in Southern Sudan.
