Jesus is the Reason





We were so excited Mark was able to find a Christmas tree in Mongu. The kids loved putting it together and are making ornaments for it. As we enter into Christmas season, may our hearts prepare to celebrate the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the greatest Gift of all time.

For to us a child is born, 
to us a Son is given;
and the government shall be upon His shoulder, 
and His Name shall be called 
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 
Isaiah 9:6

happy birthday Mark!


Happy birthday to Mark, our fearless leader! Madylanne made him a card she really loved giving him!



Peach cobbler instead of cake....Mark liked it but Micah was highly disappointed...he thinks all birthday celebrations require chocolate cake. 

School daze



The kids enjoyed Thanksgiving break immensely! We all did. But they are back to school now...school daze.... I mean school days....  :)

Speech Therapy



This is a shot of Micah doing speech therapy with Mrs. Lisa, his speech therapist who lives all the way in Virginia. We are so thankful to God for technology which allows Micah to have speech therapy in our far away spot on the map! He is making great progress, too. Thank You Lord! 

Happy Thanksgiving from Zambia






We had a blessed time indeed, hanging out with mission family in Lusaka for Thanksgiving.

Loving these students

When we first moved to Senanga we heard that there is a school here for students who are deaf. We have come to find out there are TWO such schools here...one for grades preschool through 9th, and one for students in 10-12th grade. They are boarding schools for children who come from all over the Western Province. We visited these schools last week and met some of the staff and students. They are open to having us come and share the Gospel with them through sign language. A church in North Carolina is sending a team of volunteers here next July 2020 and guess what they will be doing?? Sharing the Gospel through sign. 
We are THRILLED for what God is going to do!!! Pray for these students and what God wants to do in their hearts!!
