Adam and Melissa Hoffman Missionary Update

Friends,

I hope things are well on your ends, and I'd love to hear details from you. Send me a quick update!

Things are going well around here. The students are very engaged and interested in the subjects. Here are some things to prompt you to pray as you think over what God is doing here:

Pray for the students who are wrestling with big issues. Some of the issues are contextualization and specifically redemptive analogies, defining saving faith (and the division of specific and general revelation), and issues related to spiritual warfare.

Pray for new developments in process and planning:

Field Trip to Jewish Synagogue for Sukkot (Festival of Booths) next weekend
Possible couple joining staff with us in INSIGHT (will be here Oct. 6-10 learning about Insight and the FMF)
Insight Fall Retreat (Oct. 19-21)
New Insight Location in Boone, NC
Program Director's Training for potential Insight Program Directors Oct. 30-31
The Pasadena team of discussion leaders and bible study leaders as we work hard to hone our skills of getting students to actively engage in depth on tough issues. Pray for me specifically as I lead and serve this team and our students.

On a more personal note pray for 3 things with us:

Adoption Process - that God will continue to give us hope and patience as we wait to be chosen by a birth family
Melissa's trip to NC - Melissa is flying out a week from today to visit with family and some friends as she is home specifically for baby showers for us. Pray this will be restful and encouraging as she goes to feel the support of those close to her.
Support Raising - this economy has drained resources of those who stand with us in backing this ministry financially. We continue to attempt to raise full support and get out of the burden of being under funded. Pray for renewed connections in our home base in NC and the ability to meet people here in CA who share a passion for missions and college students.

Thanks so much! You give us a foundation to move forward in faith knowing we have this team lifting us up to the one who provides.

With Love For He First Loved Us,
Adam (& Melissa) Hoffman
