Last November, I travelled to Michigan to attend strategic planning meetings. What a joy it was to spend the whole of the first morning in prayer seeking God’s guidance and will as we outlined our objectives for the next three years. The Holy Spirit felt truly near as all AFM’s office staff united and contributed to that process.

As a result of that strategic planning session, over the next few months, I will be researching several possible new projects in the Euro-Asia field. Some of this research will be in conjunction with a number of our missionaries.

I look forward to working closely with local church leaders in the Trans-European and Euro-Asia Divisions and also the new Greater Middle East Union. Please pray for our discussions as we seek ways of expanding the work in un-entered territories.

While in Berrien Springs, I had the pleasure of visiting the Dyserts’ daughters for the first time. What a blessing it was as we welcomed the Sabbath together, singing songs and studying God‘’s word. Praise the Lord for talented, dedicated young people. —
