George and Doris Nuss
Prayer Letter/Ministry Update
Dear Praying Friends,
We find ourselves living between two worlds these days. Part of us is here in the U.S., where we find ourselves scrambling around after papers, looking for housing, visiting family and trying to settle in. Throw in some conferences and car repairs and it makes for a busy few weeks. We're trying to figure out those often-subtle changes to America over these past five years and make adjustments, while we also take care of the business of living.
In the meantime, part of remains in Guinea: thinking of, praying for and talking about the friends and work we've left behind. Guinea is far away, but as close as our minds and hearts (not to mention phone calls and emails). Torn it two? Not really, but we do find ourselves shared between these two worlds.
All of us are also shared between two other worlds: a heavenly one and an earthly one. We belong both to God's kingdom while we live in this present age. Our task is to bring the realities of that heavenly world into that other reality of the here and now. So it is between the U.S. and Guinea. We want to bring the realities of Guinea to the hearts and minds of believers here so that heavenly realities can be better expressed and experienced there. Would you pray with us?
-- That God would encourage the church in Conakry with His power and presence, so that they could effectively serve the needs of the church and touch their community with His love. Pray that they would share the Gospel boldly, and that God would bless their work by bringing to them those who will believe. Pray too that God would meet the physical needs of those in the church, for they are many.
-- Remember the country of Guinea, where political tensions and economic difficulties dominate daily living. While the country isn't in a crisis mode, tensions are real and solutions are hard to come by. Please pray in all these things that God would teach the leaders justice and truth, while He shows His people His love and care.
-- Please remember us before the Lord as we search for housing for the coming year. It's been harder and slower to nail down than we had anticipated, and we've had a few bumps in the road. We especially need to settle down before school starts next month. Pray that we can find a place and settle in by then.
-- Too much travel is hard on the spirit and the family. Pray that God would keep us close to Himself and too one another as travel about the country.
Thanks so much for your prayers and support. Thank you too for those of you who also support the Great Commission Fund of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. That is the fund that cares for our needs as we work this year to build support for the work of the Kingdom in Guinea.
Yours in His Service,

Pray.
