Scramble

Taste and See (Psalm 34:8)

Do you remember the scramble when you played musical chairs as a child? Players rush to beat each other to a chair when the music stops. You cannot sit two in the same chair, and a chair gets removed in each round. It can become disorienting as you hop from place to place. Preparing for a W. African CHE conference seems sometimes similar, although in an inverted way. Imagine the chairs as the trainers available to teach and the tasks to be done as those standing, needing to find a chair. It is always a scramble when a chair or two (trainer) leave the circle, but the tasks to be done remain unchanged! Every year, we have last-minute changes in the CHE trainers available, even days and hours before the training starts. When trainers disappear, more tasks fall on those who remain. This year, Verlin and other leaders needed to scramble Friday and Saturday to replace the master trainer who typically facilitates the Level 3 Micro-Enterprise Development (MED) training. A family member of our dear brother died, preventing him from coming to Abidjan. Thankfully, we know that although we may have to make many adjustments, the Lord’s purpose (counsel, plan) will stand (Prov. 19:21)!

Come and See (Psalm 34:8)

In addition to verifying and checking on each university trainer and working to fill this Level 3 void, Verlin got our international CHE trainer the paperwork to receive an e-visa to Cote d’Ivoire in 24-48 hours after submitting his papers. Getting them took all day Monday and most of Tuesday, but it was successful! Our American brother, who works with Medical Ambassadors International and trained us in CHE, will join us and see some of the spiritual fruit in others lives developed from his years of vision sharing! Debbie continued her scramble to accumulate information and speak with people advocating for Tennessee senior adults. She is looking for another place for them to live that will better fit their budget and take into account probable future physical needs. Thankfully, the Lord regularly puts helpful people in her path. She hopes to help them move before the end of the year.

Prayer & Praise

• 🙏 Thank the Lord that the international CHE trainer we asked you to pray for last week was given an e-visa to Cote d’Ivoire in record time!
   
• 🙏 Pray for the right combination of CHE trainers at Level 3 to replace the master trainer who cannot come because of a family funeral. Pray for our brother during his family’s grief. Lift up the hundreds of details the university CHE team is working on to make the training week run smoothly
   
• 🙏 Ask the Lord to give Debbie wisdom and necessary connections as she seeks a better living situation for her parents.
