Meeting in Thailand (again)

It’s always a rush trying to get ready for an out of town trip.  So I’m grateful to be able to post this shortly before I fly out.

My team from the Global Technology Office here in Orlando is hosting a meeting in northern Thailand this weekend through next Wednesday.  This will be a gathering for 27 Campus Crusade missionaries serving in about a dozen different countries.  We host this meeting twice each year.  For the last two times, we’ve met in Thailand.

Rather than tell you about the meeting I’ll just list some prayer points so you can lift these up:

Pray for …

  • Lift up Shannon and the kids.  Holding down the fort for 8 days while I’m gone is not a trivial matter.
  • Pray for peace in our hearts as I’m away.  The Lord is always near; pray for His presence to fill the Hand family and all the participants at the meeting.
  • At the meeting, we’ll be learning ways to help us have a deeper servant mindset and become more effective technology trainers. Pray that our time will be effective and very fruitful.
  • My friend Sam from India (pictured here) is ill and won’t be able attend.  Also, a couple of our Egyptian missionaries can’t come due to the instability there.  Pray that they won’t be too discouraged and ask the Lord to provide other opportunities for them.
