Pray for Great Commission Consulting as I develop several initiatives. One is developing a program at Gordon-Conwell to equip global pastors and leaders through a Shepherd's Care Certificate. We also will be starting a new assessment and coaching program using the Cerny-Smith assessment tool that measures stress in missionaries. Also, and most exciting, a former student of mine and his wife, Gregory and Tamra Roberts, have joined GCC and will be developing several new trauma healing initiatives. Pray for them as they raise support and make contacts. Check them out on the GCC website at the link in this paragraph. 

I teach missions related directed study courses to individual students every semester and will be teaching a course on Understanding Culture this summer. This is the first time I have taught this course. Please pray as I prepare the syllabus, lectures, and learning activities for the students. Pray also that God will move powerfully in the class. My desire is that the Holy Spirit teaches about global mission through me. Pray also for me as I work to have Gordon-Conwell become an approved seminary for the Global Methodist Church.
