Happy Father's Day!


Happy Father's Day to Mark, 
the most amazing father to our children. 
Football (soccer) season is in full swing 
at our house since the World Cup is going on. 
Here is Mark playing finger football 
on the floor with Micah. I am so thankful to God for Mark, 
who loves our children so well, 
and leads them in the ways of the Lord. 
We love you, Mark. 

We honor our Dad's on this day. Thank you to Larry and Johnie 
for being such great examples of fatherhood. 

And thank You to our heavenly Father for
defining what fatherhood is, 
for Your unconditional love,
 Your discipline,
and for providing the only way for us to know You 
through giving Your Son, Jesus. 

Preaching and a Rally

Mark had the honor of preaching last week at Rehoboth Baptist Church.


 The day before, Rehoboth had a Rally 
for the association of churches. 
It was a blessed time of worshiping together.


And we ladies were having a great time 
getting the food ready in the kitchen!!




Family of 5 again at last

Madylanne is home with us on the east coast of Africa.
Yeah!! We are so grateful to God for the wonderful 
senior year of high school she had in 
Kansas. And we are so grateful she is back
with us for a while.
This mama heart is happy.

 And you can tell her brothers are happy, too...not to mention her Dad! 

Adventuring

Madylanne had the great idea to stop over in London 
for a few days on our way back to the East Coast of Africa.
Here is Big Ben


And we took a train ride to Edinburgh! 
yes that's right SCOTLAND. It was incredible. 

Our last day in London we had the privilege 
of attending worship with Highbury Baptist Church 
which was a 5 minute walk from where we stayed.
It always makes my heart rejoice 
to worship the Lord with brothers and sisters in Christ in new places. 


 

Special time with grandparents

Being in Kansas for Madylanne's graduation 
gave us the opportunity for special time with grandparents
(and other family members and many friends)!
We are so grateful for these sweet memories. 



 

Madylanne the 2026 graduate

Madylanne is now a high school graduate!
Wichita Heights Falcons
We are so very proud of you, Madylanne!!
What a blessing to be there 
for your graduation. 
Twas the season for graduations...
two of her cousins graduated from high school, too.



Congratulations, Noah! 


Congratulations, Jonathan!

 Praying for all three of these graduates...
may the Lord lead their steps 
into the future He has prepared for them.
