Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Now that the weather is FREEZING this is how we stay warm- snuggled up with Dad in the chair with our Jayhawk hats. :)

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

Did you know that the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, taken at Christmas time in Southern Baptist Churches, is more than half the yearly budget for the International Mission Board? And that every single cent of that offering goes straight to the field?

Thank you for giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering so that nearly 5000 IMB missionaries can share Jesus throughout the world.

Thank you for giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering so that our family can live among the Lozi people in Sesheke, Zambia, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ!!

We love you and thank God for you!!

Mark, Melynda, Madylanne and Matthew Wint

Hip hip hooray for cousins!

Thought this was a great shot of the Wint side cousins. What a fun night they had sleeping over at Grandma and Grandpa's! :)

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.
