Kevin & Tanya Van Horne

STUDENTS ARE GATHERING AGAIN!

It seems like a strange thing to be so thankful for, but after this time of lockdowns and disappointments, students gathering together brings great joy.

Next week, Kevin will attend a large student gathering on the north coast of Africa. These students will gather for worship, encouragement, friendship, and the joy that being together in Christ can bring. They are serving Christ on their campuses in some of the most challenging places across the Middle East and North Africa, and this time is so welcome.

Please pray for these students that their travel will be without complications and they will arrive with hearts open to God and each other. Pray for the program of worship, scripture, and training to be exactly what these students need for the year ahead. Finally, pray for the organizers and hosts, that the logistics will go smoothly and there will be no interference from those who might want to disrupt the proceedings.

Kevin will be there to spend time with leaders from this region. Tanya spent the last 10 years working with these men and women - so he will be quite proud to introduce himself as "Tanya's husband." He is also going in order to be with students and learn how to better share their stories in the context of his ministry. Finally, he will be providing support and assistance to to friends and partners of the region.

Thank you for your prayers.
