playing catch up

As you may have noticed it's been a LONG time since I was able to post any updates to our blog...the internet has been working but only S....L....O.....W.....L....Y which is not conducive to posting blog pictures. At any rate it is working tonight for which I praise the Lord so I am going to put some pics on while I can. God bless each of you this Easter week...may your hearts rejoice to know we worship a risen Savior who has overcome death and the world to give you His message of love and salvation!

ladies Bible study

Here are some of the ladies from the ladies Bible study this week: from left to right...
Bo Somaliso and her grandaughter, Bo Teresa, Bo Namasiku and her son John, Bo Mumeka, Betty, and Agnes. We have been using this Bible storying cloth to go through 42 stories of the Bible from Creation to when Christ went back to heaven. The ladies are just about to finish the Old Testament stories and will then go through the New Testament stories for the second time. Please pray for Bo Teresa as she will be leading the Bible study every Tuesday while Melynda is on furlough/Stateside. Pray for the ladies to continue to be hungry for God's Word and for Bo Teresa to be filled with God's Spirit as she teaches. Please also pray for Betty and Agnes as they teach the children's Sunday school...that they too will be filled with the Spirit of the Lord as they share truth and love with the children each Sunday.

last day of kindergarten

WOW Madylanne is finished with kindergarten as of today! I am so proud of her...she is adding, subtracting, reading, writing, locating countries on her globe and able to share Bible verses for the letters A-Z. Plus she can speak 3 languages too. ok, just kidding about that last part. But we are so proud of her for doing such a great job in kindergarten! Way to go Madylanne!

happy 2nd birthday Matthew!

Matthew turned 2 on February 2nd. How is that possible?! We love you and thank God for creating you, Matthew. :) Can you tell he helped decorate his cake?

We love you Clift!

Clift Dempsey came from Tabernacle Baptist Church in Cartersville, GA in January to encourage the church and let me tell ya it encouraged us too! We thank God for the partnership between Tabernacle and Baptist Mission of Sesheke. Even while we are in the States on our furlough/Stateside Tabernacle will still be sending a team of volunteers to Sesheke to evangelize and encourage the church body. We love you Clift and we love you Tabernacle Baptist Church! We praise God for you! While Clift was here he taught Sunday School and also a men's lesson on marriage, in addition to going out with Mark, Pastor Given and Bo Dominic to share the Gospel everyday. We wore him out I think! Please pray for the team as they are already preparing to come in late June-early July of 2013. May God use them to spread His good news of salvation and encourage the church!
