Happy Father's Day, Mark

We are so thankful to the Lord for Mark. He is such a wonderful father to our children. I am very thankful for how he loves our children and leads our family. Happy Father's Day, Mark!

Madylanne is 14!! WOW this girl knows how to travel the globe for new and different places to celebrate her birthday every year. This year is coastal East Africa, last year was Lusaka, Zambia, and the year before was Western Province of Zambia/Senanga.

Our team leader's kids spent part of the week with us. We sure enjoyed their company. What a blessing to have them here for Madylanne's birthday. Thank you for a wonderful week, Elias and Charis!

Friends, pizza, and cake. Must be a birthday party. :)

Tusoma Kiswahili

I am so very thankful to the Lord for Mama Tswila. She is helping me learn Swahili, and teaching me how to cook mahambri, a kind of donut. They were a big hit with the kids.

What is this giant thing??

Anybody know what this fruit is?? They grow on a tree in the front yard. And they are delicious! I first ate them in Taiwan. Micah loves them SOOO much. They are called.....pomelo. They taste like a mild grapefruit. So yummy!

Way to go, Matthew and Micah

We are so proud of the boys...they've done a great job at school the last few weeks!

I am always thankful for their help with the dishes.

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.
