It was 2004, and we rested in the home’s shady courtyard, as grateful to escape the hot sun of Kaffrine, Senegal as we were to worship the God whom we had spent days serving in medical huts. We sat on the ground, sang songs in several languages, and witnessed something incredibly rare among the Wolof people.

National Day of Prayer
In a town near us but not our own, our pastor gathered with others from around the area yesterday to lead an interdenominational service for the 64th annual National Day of Prayer.
Kids played on the hill behind the gazebo. Musicians led us in praise. Pastors, civic leaders, a businessman, and a student led us in focused prayers. Attendees gathered in groups to pray together. Continue reading →

“You can impress from afar, but …”
Late last month, I got to ask leaders in SIM’s US and International offices what they see as the value in our assignment to South Africa. This video presents their words.

A blessedly busy month begins!
We would appreciate your prayers for us as we enter a month of great opportunities to talk about the work God has for us!
From Sunday through Tuesday, we will attend the Missional Holiness Conference in Bethlehem, Pa., where we will have a display about our mission to South Africa. Please pray that God blesses us and the other attendees through this time and the conversations we will have as we speak about God’s work in and through us. Please pray that we develop relationships that lead to further support partners and opportunities.
Once we’re back, we’ll begin preparing for our official introduction as missionaries at our church, Crosswinds Wesleyan Church in Canandaigua! This is a very exciting and encouraging development for us. During all three services on November 8th and 9th, Pastor Craig Cooper will interview us in front of the congregation about our journey into missions and about the work ahead; we will also have a table set up outside the ministry center. Please pray for us to contagiously convey an enthusiasm for missions and that many would be inspired to pray about both supporting missionaries and discerning what roles God has for them. Please also consider attending Crosswinds that weekend (or any! all are welcome; 3360 Middle Cheshire Road, Canandaigua; services at 6 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sunday). We would love to see you there!
The following week, Crosswinds will begin its second annual “Global Impact Festival” (Nov. 16-23), celebrating God’s work around the world and encouraging our church members to support missionaries and ministries here and abroad. This year’s theme is James 1:27: “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” During this time, please pray for people to be touched by God’s heart for us to help those in need and His call for us to avoid the temptations and beliefs so common in our world.
As always, thank you for your encouragement, prayers, and support!
