Madylanne is 15

Madylanne brought a friend, Jordan, home with her from school over her mid term break- a three day weekend- that just happened to be her birthday! We are so thankful for the Lord's sweet blessing of being able to spend Madylanne's birthday with her together at home,

and for the opportunity to meet a special friend.

You can see her brothers were very glad for some sister time.

Birthday party!

Praising God for 10 years of God's faithfulness to Baptist Mission of Sesheke Church

We are SO excited that Baptist Mission of Sesheke Church in Sesheke, Zambia, celebrated their 10th anniversary last week!!

Praising God for His faithfulness!

Pastor Dominik and his wife Tereser and the church are still going strong.

Clift, who first came with his son and a volunteer team in 2010, has been visiting almost every year since then to offer encouragement and love.

The picture below is what he posted on FB about his visit to join in the 10th anniversary celebration.

Our hearts rejoice with them! God is so so good! May He continue blessing this church to reach the town of Sesheke and beyond with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Cave of Wonders

Clift stopped by to see us for a few days before he journeyed on to Sesheke. We were so happy to see him!

We found some new and exciting things to do...eat at a restaurant inside a cave, and

ride some camels!

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.
