As our team departed the International Mission Board headquarters in Richmond, Eleanor in the prayer office there sent us this email:
Your team has just driven off for dinner at Cracker Barrel. It seems such a normal thing to do … and yet, I cannot leave for the day before I email and say again what a blessing your team is. I immediately emailed Ed Cox (Director of Prayer at IMB) to let him know—simply saying, “I am sorry you had to miss their visit, but I am grateful for the privilege of having shared with them.”
We have had others who have come to pray and we have many who come to tour; but I don’t know that we’ve ever had a group like yours with a passion to bathe our work in prayer.
I appreciate having your team’s BLOG address—I’ve already checked it out and will continue to pray for your team as you travel.
May our God, who knows each mile you travel, grant you grace as you encounter hardship, kindness when you deal with those in need, and joy as you sing and pray together. May your prayers and music touch the hearts of others as they have mine.
Partnering together in the greatest task,
Eleanor Witcher
IMB
