#2 Pray
1. Please pray for Garth and Jodi – for protection, provision, wisdom, and strength as they serve.
2. Please pray for the people of East DR Congo. For three weeks in May, Garth helped fly out and evacuate one of the bases due to military conflict there. Please pray for the staff who are dealing with that and for the over one million internal refugees there in Congo.
3. Please pray for Garth who is attending an airshow at the end of July. Pray that God would lead potential missionary pilots and mechanics to serve with MAF.
