Counting Down the Days

Dear Friends,

In eight days, I will be embarking on one of the most stretching adventures of my life.  To be honest, I am probably not qualified nor prepared to "lead" a team overseas, but as I have to continue reminding myself, it will always be by God's grace that I respond to this calling.  John, Chris, and I will be going to Zambia to partner with African Navigators collegiate staff in ministering to students and communities.  We will be gone from June 6 until July 28.  Prayers are and will be crucial.

I will make an effort to provide at least a weekly update with regard to our condition, our ministry, and our prayer needs.  It has not been a strength, as much as I had hoped it would be, through this last year of ministry, so I also invite you to initiate with us!  If you would like to correspond with us, please feel welcome to email us.  It may be a while, but it would serve as a reminder to me that I need to bring my co-laborers, extra-Zambia, up to speed.

If you would like a Zambia prayer bookmark, please email ASAP.

Note on following my blog posts: I discovered that you can follow through your email! Just subscribe at the top of this blog, and all future blog posts will be emailed directly to you! Brilliant!

The prayer quest of the week: for wisdom and safety through preparations and travel, and for Christ-filled hearts as we make this exciting and difficult transition.

By His Grace,
Jon Chen
