Pray for Tripp and Alison as they travel to Africa

Tripp and Alison Johnston are back from Asia and located once again out of the US office (Charlotte) for Sports Friends. Currently they are on a trip to visit 3 of our African works : Nigeria till this Monday, then in Ethiopia to the 28th and then Kenya to the beginning of the month. Pray for wisdom as they lead discussions with our SFN staff on many different topics pertaining to the development of each of the ministries. We would really like to find a Nigerian man of God to lead our work from Jos. With the ministry really escalating in regards to teams (10,000 plus youth) and camps our level 4 leaders who oversee the entire work really have their hands full. Pray for them and their coaches. The Ethiopia agenda is a particularly full one which includes the hosting of some key leaders from a closed country. Pray for their visa's to be finalized and for their visit to be "SPECIAL." Also thank God for what he has done in Ethiopia over the last 8 years and pray for our SFE staff as we move forward with recruiting new leadership for 2011 camp ministry (we will go from 40 per week to 100 next year). Kenya leadership will be in Ethiopia. Pray for that time to be productive and helpful for the future development of the work in this country targeting a certain region. We need a trainer for coaches to join this staff soon.
