Dear Family and Friends,
It is 2:05 AM on the morning of our departure from Malawi
after our four years of service with ABC Christian Academy! It is indeed hard
to believe that we are leaving, now in just a few short hours.
I would love to be able to take the time to share a few of
the things that God has been teaching us through these last few months. Maybe
we can have coffee or tea sometime and get to talk more about it. We are also
eager to hear from you and about how the Lord has been growing and teaching
you.
Prayer Items:
1. By the time most of you see this, we will be on the
plane! Pray for patience with the children and their patience with us. Pray
also that we would be shown favor as we seek to check in. We have the chance to
be allowed 3 checked bags. If we are given al three here in Lilongwe, it could
save will save us a few hundred
dollars.
2. Pray for continued good health for all of us.
3. Pray for all of us as we begin coping with the transition
ahead of us.
4. Pray for wisdom and direction regarding where we are to
go next. Brian still does not have a job.
Thank you again for all of the faithful financial and prayer
support that you have given to us over these last four years. We could not, and
would not, have wanted to be here without your support. Would you please
consider still supporting us in the coming weeks as we try to get on our feet
and as Brian continues to look for meaningful and substantial employment. The
ABC Mission allows us to continue to receive support for up to two months after
leaving the field. This would allow for the tax-deductible contributions
through the end of September.
Grace and Peace,
The Carlisles
