We want each of you to know how much we appreciate your prayers for our trip to North Africa! We had the opportunity to share in our meeting a couple of weeks ago.
Here is a brief recap of our trip.
We had 3 main opportunities.
1. Daily Arabic classes
We attended the school were our workers do all of their initial language study. It gave us the opportunity to learn a little conversational Arabic (although I spoke as much French on this trip as I did Arabic) and to help continued relationships with the teachers. I don't think that this was the teams favorite thing but they did learn more than they think!
2. English Class
One of our friends, teaches English at a University and we were asked to join her in class, interact with her students and help them with their English.
3. Prayer Walking
I am so proud of this team, during our time in NA we walked over 35 miles. The workers in NA have put together audio guides giving directions for prayer walking various areas of the cities that we downloaded on our Ipods, both for convenience and security. When I first learned of this project I thought it was brilliant! In fact I have been working on similar audio tracts that are for prayer walking NAU. This is what we did for the most of our stay in NA, and I received a email the other day sharing that things are already happening where we walked and prayed. If you have every had the opportunity to prayer walk for any length of time you know that it is not only physically demanding, but also spiritually demanding. The team pushed hard and covered much ground. I love that God allows us to be part of what He is doing in His Kingdom.
