Dear friends,
I wanted to send a brief update and ask for your prayers regarding an important situation affecting the ministry in Mibu.
While I've been gaining momentum on developing the Revelation lessons, one significant challenge has arisen: the internet connection in Mibu was lost recently and without warning. Because of some ongoing security concerns in the area, we've intentionally kept this issue off of social media, but we felt it appropriate to share it here with you as a trusted group of prayer partners.
We believe the internet has played an important role in maintaining both community safety and stability over the past year. The ability to communicate quickly with leadership, authorities, and one another has mattered greatly, and its absence is deeply felt.
From a ministry perspective, this has also been difficult. Internet access is my primary means of continuing to serve the church in Mibu from afar. I normally meet regularly with church leaders for discipleship, training, and counsel. As I've been working through the Revelation lessons, my hope was to involve teachers in Mibu directly in the process—both to strengthen the lessons and to deepen discipleship. Losing that connection has been discouraging.
That said, we are thankful that the community does still have an emergency beacon, which allows for short text communication when necessary. While limited, it does provide a basic lifeline.
We are currently working with our IT department and mission leadership to explore a solution for restoring internet service. At this point, the timeline is uncertain. Resolving the issue will require travel into and out of Mibu by someone with the right technical expertise, which involves additional logistics and expense. There is also the possibility that the solution may not be immediately implementable, potentially requiring follow-up trips. This is the challenge of maintaining technical equipment in such remote locations.
We are asking you to pray specifically for:
• wisdom and clarity as plans are made
• provision for the finances needed to address this issue
• safety for the community
• discernment for the right people involved
• patience and trust as we wait on the Lord's timing
We know that God sees and knows all of this. He is in control. He is our sustainer and provider, and we are choosing to rest in our dependence on Him, even when solutions feel uncertain from our perspective.
Thank you, as always, for standing with us through prayer and generous support. We are continually humbled by your faithfulness and encouragement, and we thank God for you often.
With gratitude,
Geoff (for the Husa family)
