Make the Most

By: David Echols

“Make the Most”

Paul instructed the Colossians to “make the most of every opportunity” (Col 4:5). Over the past fifteen months I feel our mission has been to be good stewards of the opportunities that have come our way. It has not been easy or predictable, but God is good and we find our peace in that.

COVID Crisis in Namibia

COVID Crisis in Namibia

Please pray for Namibia, the pandemic crisis has reached new heights here. While much of the world is beginning to move into a post-pandemic reality, Namibia is getting hit hard for the first time. Our numbers are among the highest in the world (per capita) and our medical systems are overwhelmed. Our hospitals are full, there is a shortage of oxygen and critical care equipment and the morgues are operating beyond capacity. As a result, people are unable to get the treatment they need and our death rates are unusually high.

Right now more than fifty people we know are COVID positive and we have lost three in the past week. One was one of our Thriver’s grandmother and the other two were from our church. We have two other close friends who lost family members this week and we still have one from our church in ICU. COVID is currently running rampant in every circle of relationships we have.

In response, the government is locking us down again. Schools are closed, curfew is in effect, gatherings of ten or more are banned and no one is allowed to move in or out of our city. Our programs are temporarily suspended again, and everyone is being asked to stay home.

Please pray for our country, it is heart-breaking to see such devastation. Here is a list of things you can pray for:

  • Ask God to direct us in the ministry we do and to help us find ways to bring comfort to those who are sick or grieving.
  • Safety for our family during this crisis.
  • Success of our meal program for health care workers (see June newsletter for details).
  • Recovery for those who are sick.
  • For the current wave’s high infection rates to decrease.
  • For our healthcare system as it is overwhelmed and the frontline workers who are exhausted.
  • Wisdom for our government in leading us through.
  • For our government to be able to obtain the vaccinations we need.

Thanks for your prayers!
