Thank you!

 Thank you to everyone who prays for us and gives, making it possible for us to live here and share Jesus among a people who are less than .05% evangelical Christians.

We love you and thank God for you!!!!

Week of prayer for international missions

 

This week is set aside as a time to pray for international missions around the world. 

We are grateful for your prayers as we live cross culturally among a people group that has less than .05% evangelical Christians. Pray they will respond to God's call to Himself through Jesus His Son!

Please pray for the people all over the world who have yet to hear the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. There is no other way to God the Father except through Him. John 14:6

Happy birthday to Mark!

Happy birthday to Mark, our fearless leader! 

We are so very thankful to God for creating him. Thank You, Lord, for the husband and father he is, his ambassadorship for Christ, and his commitment to the Word of God. 

We love you, Mark! 

 

Occupational therapy group

First Baptist Church in Burden, KS generously made possible a gift to each of the families who are a part of the OT group which meets weekly. In each bag there is a book of John, homemade play dough purchased from a pastor's wife who uses the extra income to support their family, 

bean bags, and food items. 

This little Cutie is one of the kids who comes to therapy group. She's making lots of progress! 

Madylanne got to come with us for our last Bible story of the year and to 

help deliver gift bags during therapy. 

Please pray these children and families will hear the voice of God calling them to 

Himself through Jesus His Son. 

                                                   

VBS week 1

Week 1 of VBS

What started out small turned out to be around 50+ kids for VBS...you'll recognize all the fun things that happen during VBS...Bible story time, crafts, games, and of course snacks! 

It was such a blessing having our big kids home from school so they could help, too...Madylanne enjoyed the little ones. 

It is the culture here for people to take their shoes off at the door before entering. Isn't it fun to see all the shoes at the door?

We had an amazing time teaching through the birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus...and He's coming back! Praying these truths from God's Word will take root in their hearts and they will grow to fruition in their lives....

 

Thankful

 This is us! I am so very thankful to God for so many things...most of all, Jesus, God's Son, and that God gives us a way to have a right relationship with Him through Jesus. And then, I am thankful for our family! Madylanne is home from school and we are so thankful to be together! This is us at our Thanksgiving celebration. 

We are very thankful for our national partners, too, and teammates! We really enjoyed being able to celebrate our Thanksgiving meal together. 

You've seen Laurien before, in the red shirt...he helps Mark with language and a ton of other things! He is a blessing from God, indeed. 

We are so thankful for our teammates, the Rains family. They will be transitioning to a new position within the IMB

in the next few months. We are thrilled for them to be saying YES to the Lord and simultaneously sad to see them go. We are grateful for the people God places in our lives in each season!
