first day of school


Madylanne is a SENIOR!! 
And so is her cousin, Noah...
and Brianna is a sophomore.

Madylanne has moved in with their family 
to attend a public high school 
where she can complete her senior year.
Her cousins attend a different school in town.
We are so grateful for her Aunt Deanna and Uncle John, 
who have welcomed her into their home and lives for this next year.
We pray Madylanne and Noah have an AMAZING senior year!! 
And Brianna, we hope you have a great sophomore year, too!


 Micah is attending 5th grade here in Burden for the next few weeks
 until we return to Africa. Matthew is attending Algebra class, too. 
So they both had a first day this week. 
They said it was nice to see friends 
from when they were in school here 4 years ago, 
and to meet a few new friends, as well.

VBS 2025

Micah and I had a lot of fun visiting Stonebrook Baptist Church 
and their VBS. What a blessing to share 
with the VBS kids how God is answering their prayers 
when they pray for people in Africa.


 

Baptisms


We were so thrilled to watch our nieces Kylie and Lexi get baptized! 
Thanking God for their commitment to Jesus,
for making it public, 
and that we could be there to witness it!
Keep walking in obedience to Him, ladies.






 

Wisdom teeth


Madylanne had the joy of wisdom teeth extraction last week.
She was quite a trooper and we 
are grateful to God she has healed up so well! 


Thanks to Nana and Rosie for their help at home, too. 
 

South Carolina


Lifepoint Church in South Carolina welcomed us 
with open arms at the end of July. 
We are so grateful for your partnership in the Gospel! 
Thank you Lifepoint for creating 
all these special memories for our family!
We loved every minute with you all. 



 



Smore fun than ever



We had a really fun night at Aunt Deanna's house making smores. Yummm!!
