May 23: Pray for healthy transitions for Isaiah as he says goodbye to friends, family, familiar places and ways of doing things. Ask for healthy grieving, and an excitement for what is to come in PNG.
Today is Day 23 of our May He Grant prayer focus. We are incredibly grateful to each one of you praying alongside of us! We continue to have unreliable internet access during our time in the mountains. Isaiah loved adventure, nature, and all things "boy." He can't wait to get to Papua New Guinea, and already has two friends that he met during ICC that he is excited to have movie nights with in Ukarumpa. Pray that he will maintain that excitement, and that as he says good-bye to friends, family, Tupelo, and our home church, that God will be with Him and give Him peace.
