Our Typical Day
First of all, a typical day at the office usually is not typical.What is typical is prayer. Our day is scheduled around our office prayer time. The whole office staff gathers each day in the conference room to share the latest prayer needs of our missionaries and then holds them in prayer as a team. The pastoral care couples also take time during their day to have prayer for their group of missionaries.At lunch time the couples involved in pastoral care can be seen praying not only over their food but also for their missionaries. Bob and I use that time to pray through a monthly calendar of our missionaries.
Other than the prayer times we can be found reading the great newsletters we receive from those serving on the field, answering questions and helping solve issues that come up. The picture below is of Bob helping a young missionary who will be going to Romania this summer. She was so excited to see her family on our web site.
Another department that stays real busy here at CTEN is our publishing department. Debie and Tess publish all the newsletters of our missionaries. This is such a great service to those on the field.
Then there are the weeks we do orientation. these are crazy weeks, but we love them. We have anywhere from 12-28 missionaries receiving orientation and getting not only mentally prepared but spiritually as well. We love seeing the connections that are made between missionaries.
Headed Out
As I write this Bob and I are in our final days before heading out to Africa, our second home! This time we will head to the western part of Africa visiting the missionaries in Cameroon, Liberia and Burkina Faso.
Thank you again for your prayer support for the flight and visits that we can be an encouragement to those who have been led to leave home and bring the Gospel to all the world.
