I, Matt, am involved in a ministry which we haven't talked about much: The World Evangelical Alliance--theological commission. I am involved in this group, having organized several to discuss contextualization-- that's the reason I was in Oxford in August. Contextualization means living out the Christian faith in different cultures. This group of the WEA is in the midst of writing a book together on the topic. Cindy and I both will be going to Bangkok, Thailand, later this month for more meetings and conferences on these topics.
Pray for wisdom to help the world-wide church live more faithfully to Jesus Christ in their local context.
Pray that God handle the many logistics necessary in bringing this book to fruition.
Pray for safety as we travel to Bangkok and back in a couple of weeks (you'll hear more about this trip as we're making it).
For those of you who have prayed for our luggage to make it to Bamako, it arrived this week. A bit smelly and water damaged, but all in all we praise Him that it has all arrived safely. Now we're looking into a way to get our things from Bamako to Abidjan. Thank you for your prayers.
Thanks for your prayers.
Matt & Cindy Cook
P.S. we talked to all three of our children last night on Skype and it was wonderful. Thank you for continuing to pray for them: Elysia in Ohio; Holly and Andy in Dakar
