Nick and Amanda left Beirut to spend 3 months in the U.S. and now find themselves here through the end of the year. Conditions in Beirut have deteriorated to the extent that they have been advised not to return yet. Pray that the Lord would use this time to encourage them through family and supporting churches and enable them to help future teammates prepare for departure. Pray that the Lord would intervene for the people of Beirut to provide a stable government, and all their basic needs. Pray for Nick and Amanda’s hearts as they grieve for their friends left behind.
