Ladies Meeting

Thank you for praying for the ladies meeting we had Saturday. Many ladies came to hear what the Bible has to say about how to interpret it well, our roles as women, and what a gift it is to be able to share the Word of God with our children and neighbors.

Preparation

The boys are helping us get arts and crafts materials ready for our VBS next week. Thanks, boys!

Ednah is helping me stuff bean bags that will be Christmas gifts for the therapy kids. Thank you, Ednah, for the help, and thank you First Baptist Church Burden for helping make this possible!

Visiting Madylanne

Madylanne was in a play at her school last weekend- what an honor to visit her and see the play in person! She and all the cast and crew worked so hard putting this together.

We are so proud of your efforts, Madylanne.

We hiked up the hill right next to her school on Saturday and enjoyed this gorgeous view of the valley. God's majesty on display!

I'm so thankful to God for Madylanne.

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.
