July Prayer update from the Wilsons 

Dear friends,
 
Thank you so much for your prayers and support over the past month.

Chris has just got back from a brief trip to the UK. Although this was a shorter visit than usual (due to caring for a toddler here in Ethiopia who is unable to leave the country) he enjoyed reconnecting with family, friends and supporting churches.

Over the past year, Chris has been working on turning his PhD thesis into an academic monograph and this month he signed a contract with T&T Clark to publish that book at some point in 2027. This was always his ideal outcome for the PhD, and so he’s thrilled to have got to this point.

Suzy and the kids are well. This is always a quiet time of year and allows a little breathing space, which they are enjoying. We have just moved into a slightly bigger house on our compound, which is a huge blessing as it means Chris no longer has to share his office with our toddler, and the boys now have a nice homeschool area.

Please pray for Suzy and the kids as they go to the UK. They will travel for 4 weeks seeing family and visiting a couple more churches, whilst Chris remains in Addis with the little one. Obviously, spending 7 weeks apart is not our idea of a great summer—but we’re trying to make the best of it while we work through the adoption process. Pray that everything goes smoothly and Suzy and the kids are able to rest too despite a busy schedule. Please pray that our toddler settles well while the rest of us are away, and that he and Chris have a really good time together.


Love, Suzy and Chris
