Visiting a new friend

This is a picture of Madylanne and Linda and her beautiful children. The ladies from the Ladies Fellowship had the idea to visit her because Linda has had a really really rough season in her life. Thankful for Linda's sweet smile and trust in the Lord. Please pray for Linda and her family.

fast trip

Madylanne and I made a quick medical trip to our capital city last week. God arranged everything perfectly and we were able to get our appointment and medicine on the same day. We are grateful! Thank you for giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering and to the cooperative program through your local SBC church which makes it possible for us to have medical care!

I confess we stayed up late playing Nurtz and eating snack food. It was fun doing this with my big kid!

Basketball

Today the kids played a little basketball in the front yard. It was fun watching them enjoy each other's company! Sibling love is a gift from God. :)

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.
