Answered prayers

We have been sick, but we are recovering, thanks to a very loving God and medicines, too. Proof to this can be seen below as Madylanne dances with her cousin Noah, poses with her cousins Logan and Kylie, and plays superstar with her cousin Rachel.

We have another answer to prayer, Mark has a job! He will be working for the 2010 United States Census Bureau, starting April 13th. Thank You Lord and also to all of you who have been praying for us!! Please let us know how we can pray for you too!

Have a blessed Easter! Our Savior is alive, that is why we have hope and joy in uncertain times. Nehemiah reminds us that God took care of the Israelites while they were wondering in the wilderness for 40 years- their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell. (Nehemiah 9:21) If God can do that for them, He can take care of all our needs, too. He is faithful!!! We are witnesses to His faithfulness and loving kindness.

Prayer Requests

March 2024

*Pray for the group of men who began theological training last month. One of the pastors was really excited about what He is learning when Mark visited with him. May he and the other students apply what they are learning in the churches where they serve. *Pray for a family from the Friday therapy group who lost their son due to malaria recently. There has been an outpouring of love and support from their family, friends, and neighbors. This is the only Christian family in our group. Pray comfort for them as they are heartbroken. As their community sees how much they loved their son, may their lives point to the reason they have hope- Jesus. *Pray for God to bring men who are using heroin to Kisima to find freedom from addiction through Jesus. Pray for Mark and his national partner as they seek the Lord's guidance about how to expand this ministry. *Pray for health for our family...mold is constant battle where we live. *Please keep praying for our language learning. *Please pray for us to keep our focus on Jesus. *Please pray for those struggling with drug addiction. It is a big problem on the coast. *Please pray for the Digo and Ndengereko people.
