Unseen Hand

Taste and See (Psalm 34:8)

There is a hand, unseen by me,
That leads through ways I cannot see;
While going through this world of woe,
This hand still leads me as I go.

I’m trusting in the unseen hand
That guides me through this weary land.
And some sweet day I’ll reach that strand,
Still guided by the unseen hand.

--Sims

A challenge of life is trusting our Savior’s unseen hand during times of change and crisis. Three weeks ago, we asked you to pray for an Ivorian CHE trainer who was struggling with life choices and needed direction for his future. The “unseen hand” answered him in recent days. He received an opportunity to continue working in the CHE leprosy outreach in a new location! His skill set and experience give depth to the team. He also learns to trust the Lord more during times of silence and waiting. Thank you for praying.

Come and See (Psalm 66:5)

Verlin continues to share this Sunday in Cookeville. On tasks to finish before departing, he gratefully accepted the help and fellowship of two friends on our property. One helped for two days as cement was mixed and poured for 16 of the 32 cement footings. Another friend who has farmed for decades gave excellent advice to improve several water drainage problems and also deepened a drainage channel on Saturday evening. This resolves one ancillary issue among others, while the cement footings cure, allowing the deck framing to begin next week and the construction to be completed within the month. When the deck is done, Verlin intends to book his ticket to leave the States.

Debbie spent the whole week with her father, as hospital staff continued to evaluate his health with procedures. A heart procedure clarified the extent of a leaky valve and showed a troublesome blood clot. One of his legs had two additional blood clots. A kidney biopsy explained other symptoms that will require other changes. Both his cardiologist and nephrologist from the hospital will continue his future care.

Prayer & Praise

• 🙏 Continue to pray for Debbie’s dad’s health and many adjustments.
   
• 🙏 The Lord provided a special answer to a prayer request from a few weeks back. Our Ivorian CHE trainer friend received specific direction in the offer of a job to continue fighting leprosy in central Côte d’Ivoire! Pray that this new endeavor will be as fruitful as that done in the first series of villages in southwestern Côte d’Ivoire.
   
• 🙏 Another Ivorian brother, who repairs and keeps our vehicle during our absences, traveled to Burkina Faso for his mother’s funeral. Pray for the family’s adjustments.
