Spiritual Warfare

Today at training we spent some time discussing Spiritual Warfare, as well as how to equip ourselves via various means of Spiritual Vitality in order to combat any dark forces we may encounter.  "Spiritual Warfare" is not a term I am as familiar with, but is most likely something I will encounter more readily this next year.  As the Czech Republic is a primarily Atheist country, our teams may potentially find ourselves more susceptible to loneliness, spiritual darkness, and doubt.  As the winter months press on, we will also grapple with physical darkness and cold, and their impending manifestations upon our psyches.  Please pray for our teams, that we will find strength in our Saviour to boldly press on when the devil makes attempts to thwart our progress in ministry. 

On a more positive note, our school will hold weekly prayer meetings on Friday mornings, and my teammates and I are already brainstorming plans for commencing some type of Bible-study once we are settled.  We are determined to hold each other accountable, to lift each other up, and to keep each other strong.  I could not ask for better or lovelier teammates!
