Medair Advent devotional and news of the week!

Greetings all,

Christine & I want to share with you an Advent devotional put out by Medair for this advent season. There is only one devotional per week. But you might find it significant as you prepare to receive anew this year the One who came as a refugee, only to become the Lord of all! Here is a link where you can find it: https://app.box.com/s/xxzbfxak3pkn9l0qa7xlfux514ezomj4.

Our international team here in BGD is again doing our Dietrich Bonhoeffer Advent devotional that we did last year as well. We are looking forward to preparing for Advent together.
The Rohingya  volunteers  role playing during training

We had a very productive work week this past week. Phil is so thankful for all the things that his team accomplished. The nutrition transition has presented a number of staffing and logistical challenges. But two logs staff created a spreadsheet yesterday to help us all think about some of these challenges in a new way. One of the nutrition officers, Saiful, brought his outreach supervisors from the 3 current nutrition sites to the project office to train them so they could in turn hold trainings with their Rohingya volunteers. That was a direct application of a training of trainers that he attended last week. It is always nice to see those applications.
More role playing

Praise:
  1. A very productive work week!
  2. Opportunity to talk with our kids on Thanksgiving morning!
  3. Significant growth in our Bangladeshi staff all across field office and our programs.
Prayer:
  1. Wisdom for negotiating with UN partners for health and nutrition programs
  2. Wide open doors for continued ministry to the Rohingya through our programs.
