Sun, sand, food, and fun are often associated with the countries of Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy and Malta. These nations are full of people who do not see their surroundings as just tourist destinations; they call them “home.” Many people, when first approached about living in one of these places, would gladly say yes and find it glamorous. However, when the everyday reality of language and cultural learning begins, life can get complicated. First-term IMB personnel come with great enthusiasm and yet couples may struggle to not allow stress to come between them, and singles search for the “family” they need on the field. A missionary family has just moved to South Sudan to be the first Engagement Team members living in the country. They will map their city and train local leaders in the “why’s” and “how’s” of that helpful tool for evangelism. They hope to move to another large village in the next few months to begin a language and culture study of a Muslim unengaged unreached people group (UUPG).  Amanda, a ‘Hands On’ missionary, recently joined the Ancash Quechua Team in Peru to serve for eight months. She has come to minister alongside the Murphree family in San Luis, focusing mainly on homeschooling responsibilities related to the family’s two children. While desiring to bond quickly to the Murphree family, she also wants time to minister to the people of San Luis.  * Please pray for Amanda as she bonds to the Murphree family and seeks ministry among the people of Peru. * Ask God to help this new family in South Sudan adapt well to their new country, culture, and language.  * Intercede for the Davidsons that they will have a deep and abiding love for the people of Malta.
