Dear Prayer Partners,
The normal demands of GRNT work bring tiredness that we must pay attention to if we are to serve God well. "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship" Romans 12:1-In order to fulfill the demands of GRNT well, we must take time aside for rest and refreshment. Activities together that help us learn more about each other enable us to grow in mutual respect of each other's life story. We want to be able to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. GRNT staff and their families will take some time aside for rest from 9-11 April.
Thank you for your prayers for our requests this month.
Jon Rulison
