Seed Orientation number 2

It’s good to be back in Bukavu, in a place I am familiar with, although it’s a bit different having seven 20-something year olds here with us.

Tomorrow, our orientation will begin here in DR Congo, although it’s a bit “loosely planned” let’s say. I think I may have the hardest time with it, but it’s also the only way to live in this context. I am trusting God that the topics we need to cover will be covered well, and also for making final decisions on placements of who will be with which organization.

Mark and I are very happy to be back together again. One of the things we’re both aware of and not sure about is language school. Please pray for God’s guidance on when we should go and for peace for both of us, that it will be neither too soon nor too late.

We’re going to stay put in our current house for at least a couple more months, but we appreciate prayers for guidance to a new place, too.

This month of March is going to be intense for me (Karen), Pray for presence of mind in teaching, leading conversations, and coordinating day to day life for our Seed participants. Pray for health and for unity between Serge and me, and that I would find ways to rest in the midst of it all.

Mark is still trying to figure out what his job looks like day to day and he sometimes feels discouraged, like he’s not doing anything.

Thanks for reading and for caring!
