March Cameroon Itinerary Prayer Points

These are some basic points to pray for our trip to Cameroon this March, according to the different stages of the trip:

Flying to Cameroon through Brussels

• Please pray for health, rest, and productivity. We have three flights (3, 7+ & 8+hrs) and two layovers (2&3hrs), with lots of people, germs, and fatigue along the way (and in addition to other transitions, today the high in Fort Worth is 33ºF, and the low in Yaoundé is 70ºF).
• Please pray that we and our bags arrive there in one piece and on time.
• Please pray for productivity for Kent, who will use flight time to finish his presentation for the linguistics conference.

Yaoundé

• Please pray for safety, especially what we eat, and how we get around.
• Please pray that we would get to meet many of our colleagues, and have productive and mutually encouraging conversations.
• Please pray that we would get good research on transportation and housing options, to plan well the move over the summer.
• Please pray for our research into other life details (like what is available in stores and markets), to help us make a good transition to life and work there.

Kent at Linguistics Conference

• Please pray for Kent’s presentation. It is from his dissertation, but needs to be adapted to this audience and translated.
• Please pray for good relationships with other missionary linguists
• Please pray for good relationships with Cameroonian linguists
• Please pray for good relationships with government representatives

Children at School (RFIS)

• Please pray that this trip would be a good preparation generally for our upcoming transition in June, but especially for our children.
• Please pray they would ask and get answered as many questions as possible.
• Please pray that they would get along with their classmates for next year.
• Please pray that they would get excited about their school for next year.

Return Flights

• Please pray for safety and health (the same flights home)
• Please pray for us and our bags to get back in one piece, and on time.
• Please pray for rest and recuperation after the trip, and planning our next steps!
