October Prayer update from the Wilsons 

Greetings from Addis. 

Chris has now started his part-time role at the Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology (EGST). He’s really enjoying it and been very warmly welcomed by the Faculty. As well as teaching an MA course in systematics, he has also been welcomed to contribute in various other ways. He’s particularly looking forward to spending some time investing in the two cohorts of PhD students who are studying here. Please pray for wisdom as he prepares sessions, and that this would be helpful for them. 

Our annual renewal of work permits and residence IDs is still in process. Thankfully we've just heard the work permit has been issued, so we’re hoping to get the residence IDs over the next few weeks. Please continue praying that there be no unexpected issues.

Some fighting from South Sudan is affecting border communities in Gambella. Pray especially for Tor—a former student and colleague—whose family is currently displaced.
 
Nearly two years ago we asked you to pray for our houseworker, Hareg, and her daughter, as we had significant concerns regarding her health, and how she would be able to continue caring well for her teenage daughter. We just wanted to update you that they are both doing really well. Hareg is in a much healthier and happier place and it is a joy to see her able to appreciate life, and be less burdened by physical and mental health challenges. The dramatic change in her really feels like a significant answer to prayer, praise God. 

We're looking forward to having Suzy's mum to stay in a few weeks, do pray for smooth travels for her, and for a fun and restful time together.

Thanks so much for all your support.
Love, Suzy and Chris
