MISSIONARY UPDATE

Praise and prayer requests from Sam & Matt Chittick as they travel to Galmi on mission: The Chittick’s have arrived safely in France for Sam’s language training. Their son, Josiah, is adapting well to a new place and time zone. Praise God for the 85% of needed support they have raised and please pray that the remaining 15% would come in. Please pray for Sam as she studies French, which will enable her to communicate more clearly with the people of Galmi. Pray for Josiah’s health and sleep, and pray for Matt’s sermon series he will be preaching on the missionary compound in Galmi.
