My dear friend and mentor, Jody, is heading out tomorrow for the Middle East. She is traveling there to do ministry in Syria, Beirut, and Egypt with a few women who live in the region. Jody will be gone 6 weeks and is going to be missed by so many, including her 3 children, 4 grandchildren, and her husband Dan.
Dan and Jody hold a special place in our hearts as they ministered to us during our difficult time of transition out of ministry. Jody has met with me on a regular basis to talk about the Lord, life with children, and to challenge me spiritually.
I feel emotional about her leaving as this region is pretty volatile toward Christians, Americans, and sometimes women.
I will be praying:
- that the Lord protects her and those she is working with
- that her time apart from her family would be bearable
- that Jody would feel the Lord hand upon her constantly
- that she would yield the Lord and his lead at all times
