Getting Ready to go Back to Africa

Missionaries serving in Chad,Africa

“When will we go back to Africa?” Four year old Katelyn asks, almost on a weekly basis, since we began our furlough in the US a year ago.  The other kids reminiscence about the trees Moses planted that they like to climb.  Marianna misses Simba, our dog, who was staying with a friend.  Three times Simba broke free from his leash at our friends’ house and found his way “home” - swimming across a river and walking 5 miles to our house, only to be taken back to his new home!  Our landlord now takes care of him at our house until we return.  ;-)  We are all excited about finding our way back home to Africa this summer!  We are trusting God for tickets to travel back at the end of July.  As we look forward to getting back to Africa, we are thankful for the time we have had here in the US.  It has been a wonderful season of enjoying friendships and family here again, refreshing, and making new friends.  Doors continue to open for us to share about Chad and to be an encouragement to those we meet.

As we continue to plan and prepare to begin building the Village des Nations, we are so thankful for the vision God has given us, and for those who are partnering with us.  As we begin this next phase of building on the land the Lord is given us, please consider what you can do!  If you would like to come and help out, give, or pray specifically for this project, please be in touch.  We’re excited about what God is doing!
