Please pray for Nate & Krystal and their family as they adjust to their new ministry in Eastern Europe.
All of the logistics: Getting phone plans, stuff for Nate’s business visa, vehicle situation (we rented a car for the first week and then will be borrowing a van from a family that will be away for 3 weeks but can’t buy a vehicle until we have a visa), etc
Driving: Krystal needs prayer for courage to drive! She is used to a manual transmission and crazier driving from Turkey but the narrow streets and many “two-way but only one lane” roads are a bit scary.
Our first guest: Our dear Turkish national sister (known in previous updates as Alyssa) will be coming today (28th) and staying with us until August 15th. Please pray for the time together to be mutually encouraging, for good communication, and for the time to be marked by humility and grace (especially as Krystal is still figuring out how to make meals in the new kitchen, where to get groceries, etc). We are looking forward to what God is going to do during this visit!
Our girls: They seem to be adjusting well, PTL! Pray for us as parents to have wisdom and discernment with how to care for their hearts as they embrace the new and grieve who/what they have left behind. Pray that they will look to Jesus for comfort and strength.
Temporary new routines: Once school starts on August 21st, the schedule will change, but in the meantime, please pray that we can establish some healthy routines for our whole family, even with Alyssa here.
