Pray for Me

My job this summer will be quite different than working for Amor last summer. Amor is a Christian ministry, and as such, the work environment was conducive to the development of my faith. Furthermore, there was an explicit expectation, internally among the interns and externally from my superiors, that doing our job well meant being Christlike. With an environment so supportive, it was easier than usual to "seek first [God's] kingdom and his righteousness" (Matthew 6:33).

This summer, I will be working in a secular context at the University of Minnesota, an environment in which matters of faith do not come first, as there is no agreement on faith at an institutional level. Therefore, I ask you to pray for me, that I might be able to put God first in all my work and free time. Pray also for the entire group of student researchers and the faculty we will be working under, that relations among us (especially between roommates) might be peaceful and open and enriching.

I am really excited about the wonderful opportunity I have this summer. I'll keep you posted.

Adios,
