December Prayer update from the Wilsons 

Greetings from Addis.

November was a frustrating month with two weekends of teaching in the refugee camps being cancelled due to permission issues. On the first occasion, we travelled the whole way to the camps with Bishop Martin—from the Anglican Church in Ethiopia—but none of us were allowed to enter the camps. Please pray for Bishop Martin and Meaza at the Anglican Church as they seek to meet with the authorities in order for the church to be able send people (including us) into the camps.


As I have mentioned in previous emails, one former student named Simon is a pretty key part of the training in the camps. Over the last few years, he has been coordinating the training, working as a translator and (more recently) as a co-teacher. At the same time, he has been struggling with a recurring health problem that seems to be escalating in seriousness. He’s travelling to Addis this week and will be staying with us as we seek to get him some medical tests and spend a few days together planning the training for next year. Please pray that permission would be granted for him to leave the camp and come to Addis, that the medical tests would enable doctors to diagnose the issue.

Suzy has just finished helping with some training put on for a group of about 18 Ethiopian church workers who are in the process of preparing to leave over the next 6-12 months and work with the church in other countries. It was a great time of fellowship and an encouraging few days of training. Praise God for this time together, and do be praying for them and their children as they prepare for this huge transition ahead of them.

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas! 

Love, The Wilsons.
