Susan and I had the wonderful privilege of traveling with our NMI president, Amanda Pettit, her husband Steve; our Disaster Response coordinator, Calvary Callender, his wife, Ceresa; and our Assistant District Secretary, Zack Smithson, and his wife, Corrie, to visit Pastors Jerry and Toni Porter, where they are serving as pioneer workers on an exciting creative access field. It was such a blessing to travel around the field on boats, trains, busses, and cars (and camels), and to meet with the precious nationals to whom they are ministering. The Porters are members of our district, so it was a special blessing to witness, first hand, their exciting work. I deeply admire their courage and resolve as they study Arabic daily (they seem to be doing very well at it!) and as they build bridges of friendship with their neighbors. Of course the highlight of the trip was the privilege of meeting the courageous believers in this creative access country.  Whenever we would meet with them they would tell us the story of how Jesus sought them out and transformed their lives.  Often their stories included great challenge and persecution.  We would ask the same question of each of them, "What would you have us tell our churches back home?"  Their response was always the same;   "Tell them to be grateful!" ..."Be grateful for peace and safety. Be grateful for the freedom to worship.  Most importantly, tell them to be grateful for their church...and for the ability to pray with others." One we spoke with was virtually alone, as a believer.  She would see us praying together and exclaimed..."Oh, what I would give to have others to pray with!"
