Matt & Julie and their family serve with Friends in Action, International in West Africa. The Walshes are involved in technical work which includes: well drilling, building construction, bridge building, water distribution, road construction, water filtering and mobilization.
Current prayer requests:
Praise for Julie's Healing: We are grateful that Julie was able to get the treatment that she needed in the US and that her healing has progressed well.
Prayer for the teams: Every year we are blessed by many people who are willing to give their time and abilities to come out and help us in our ministry. We know that it is a lot of work for them to leave their jobs and families to come out for a week or two, and we really appreciate their commitment. Please pray for those who are coming out in 2026 and for all their preparations in order to get here. Please pray for their safety and health while they are here and that they would see God working.
Prayer for Helpers: FIA is looking for some workers younger than Matt and Jeremy who God may be leading to come and learn the well drilling ministry. Please pray that God will bring the right people in His timing.
Prayer for New Opportunities: We continue to connect with other workers in this country to explore opportunities for partnerships in both well drilling and other technical support opportunities. Please pray for God's direction in this. We look forward to seeing where God leads our team in the future.
Prayer for Home Assignment Prep: Transitioning a family of 7 back to the US for 5 months is never easy. There are so many things to figure out each time we go back. Please pray for all the decisions that need to be made over the next few months as we try to figure out where we can stay, what we will drive, who we can visit, etc.
