First Southern Baptist Church Garden City

 WOW what a blessing to have 

First Southern Baptist Church Garden City, Kansas

come serve with us!! 

Our hearts were so encouraged to have 

church family from our home state that we know and love

with us.

Pastor John and Amanda Harms walked with us

through cancer in 2014/2015.

They loved on us when we were hurting.

What an absolute joy to host them and serve the Lord together!

Painting handprints on the wall...

Home visits to families of children 

with cerebral palsy.

Pastor John led a Shepherding Conference 

for national pastors.

An amazing safari which was gifted to us 

by their church family. 

We love you and thank God for you,

First Southern Baptist Church Garden City! 

Thank you for partnering with us in prayer

and in person!!! 

Also we did evangelism, prayer walking, 

and more painting at Kisima!

There may have been some 

swimming at the beach, too. 

Karibuni, Kentucky!

We loved having two churches from Kentucky join us this summer. 

Logan, thank you for loving on our boys. 

We are excited about what God is doing in your family!!

A vision and blood pressure clinic at Kisima for outreach. 

Happy 3rd birthday to Pendo 

in the middle of all the fun!

Returning to do evangelism

 in the area the next day.

 We're so blessed when QJoy comes to serve alongside us. 

They come ready to do anything!

They loved on kids with differences 

and they helped with community outreach

and they led BEACH DAY 2026 

for our families who have children 

with cerebral palsy.

Thank you, QJoy, for serving the Lord and

the coastal people of east Africa

with us!!

 What's going on here? 

Well evangelism through the shrubbery, but of course!! 

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.
