For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
This fall, as with other years, I made the rounds with one of our missionaries to many of the communities we serve. We do this in order to continue to build relationships, as we meet with various friends and contacts. We also want to find out how people felt things went during the summer and learn other potential ways that we can better serve and love the people of the community.
During our travels, we talked with many Chiefs, council members, elders, principals and teachers, priests, medical workers, and parents in the communities. Before we leave, we always ask them, “What can we pray for?” Without fail, the first words out of almost everyone’s mouth are, “Please pray for our children and youth.”
