We are still here, and all is well! There are many struggling with malaria right now, but God has protected us so far. The church here in our village is being reorganized and we are slowly working toward turning it over to national leadership. I haven’t been teaching at this children’s ministry as I’ve beenContinue reading “Through the Power of HIS Words”

Training the Next Generation
Saturday we sat outside the gate on benches waiting as some of the men swept off the back of the truck. Then they loaded the benches into the back. Most of us sit on the benches, but a few people stand at the front near the cab. The plan was to go to the newContinue reading “Training the Next Generation”
Mango Thieves and Unreached Villages
It has been a longtime since I’ve written a post, and there has been so much to write about! The internet has worked so poorly that I think it takes away any motivation. It can take hours to a day to post anything. I just keep hitting retry. Because the internet comes in spurts, messagesContinue reading “Mango Thieves and Unreached Villages”
Safety is of the Lord
We had been waiting over thirty minutes and I was starting to get restless. We were sitting at the carpenter’s waiting for some furniture that I had ordered Jessica for Christmas. The carpenter was finishing it up when we arrived and said it would be ready in about 30 minutes. I considered coming back later,Continue reading “Safety is of the Lord”
One Year!
December 1st marks 1 year that we have been in Malawi! I want to say it’s crazy – but it feels like we’ve just always been here. The Lord has allowed me to live such a full life, that sometimes it feels like I’ve lived several lives…some just memories. Each time the Lord has broughtContinue reading “One Year!”
Keeping Busy
We have now met at the church property in Phokera 4 Sundays! It has been exciting to see the changes each week. That first Sunday, Shadrick and I were dropped off at the old meeting place, and our old group of kids began to gather. Together we walked to the new property. I was soContinue reading “Keeping Busy”
Sufficient Grace
Bible college has finished for the hot season, and while we thought that things would settle down, it seems like we have been even busier. My schedule hasn’t changed too much, but Eric has been busy preparing the land for the church in Phokera, as well as setting things in order here at this church.Continue reading “Sufficient Grace”
Broken In God’s Plan
“Will you come back and tell the rest of our family and neighbors the Gospel?” James and Aliza (the couple that gave me the bird) asked us. So one Saturday we walked back to their house where they eagerly waited for us. Slowly some of those they had invited arrived and Eric shared the GospelContinue reading “Broken In God’s Plan”
Yet God Is At Work
It’s a calm, Sunday evening. An occasional breeze blows, which helps to cool us down a little. I am enjoying watching the kids play. Famine, gas shortages, talks of protests against the current government swirl around us…yet God is at work! Sunday a girl I have been helping treat came to church with her brother.Continue reading “Yet God Is At Work”
Our Little Buddy
Whenever I’m working, Jopeth is right there beside me, ready to help! The other day Mercy was having trouble playing in her cowgirl gear so set it on the porch and ran off. When I stepped back out, I saw the cutest, little cowboy! Of course every cowboy needs to round up a few criminals.Continue reading “Our Little Buddy”
