Answered Prayer

It's the little things that seem quite big on this side of the sea sometimes...
We have been getting low on baby wipes...no big deal, just run to Wal-Mart, right?! We have been praying over the baby wipe shortage for about a month as we've seen it coming. Literally the LAST day...Jesus brought a team from New Jersey with a bag for us. They didn't even know who it was from, they just said they were asked to bring it to us...it was a huge bag FULL OF BABY WIPES!!!!!!!!! Not only has Jesus shown us HIS FAITHFULNESS to each one of us personally, but now as a couple and how much more now is He showing us His faithfulness to our precious daughter. It may sound strange to you, but we simply had to stop and praise Jesus for His provision yet again!

Home Sweet Home

Daddy's home from Sudan! The road was totally mud and many daddy's are still sitting out there hoping to get their vehicles pulled out...please pray for them. We thank Jesus for a strong big car that took Billy to Yei, Sudan for training and brought him home to us again!
This week we have the priveldge of spending time with our friends the Waflers. Pam and Stan are celebrating their 20 years of marriage on a second honey-moon and we are enjoying their children...Jacob, Jack and Joanna. Last night for dinner Joanna wanted to use her new cookbook sent out from the states and make HULA STIR FRY. We had a really happy Hawaiian themed dinner party!

Jacob has a goat he is keeping to start a goat business. She recently has had a kid...who is affectionately named Buddy. Part of each day is walking mama and baby outside the fence where there is better grass to enjoy!
Elsie Jayne also LOVES the attention of three great friends!

More Adventures

Jesus is so kind to bless us with families who support and encourage us. We are grateful for two families that are trusting Jesus that we are walking in Him and that He has truly called us to this place and these people for this time! We rejoice in His goodness to us!

What a blessing it was to be tourist for a day and go to the game park with Joanna's parents, Blake and Nancy Neff. Elsie Jayne loved floating down the Nile and kept wanting to jump in and pet the hippos...


The beauty of the land Jesus has called us to is magnificent. It's incredible to imagine the vastness of the land as well as the greatness of the need. Please pray we might obey Jesus each day and see Him bring His light to this dark continent.


As we said good-bye to Nancy and Blake (Nya-nya and Pap...nya-nya is grandmother and tomato in Swahili!) we also said good-bye to one of our summer VIA, Kristen Fogg. Pray for her as she readjusts to life in the states...that Jesus will continue to use what she has seen and heard in her heart. Also, Sarah Knowlton is here with us through next Thursday. She and Kristen have been a huge blessing through children's ministries at Uganda Christian University, some bible clubs we have here at our home, and a girls bible study that meets each week.

Please pray for Billy and John as they have left this morning for a pastor's training in Yei, Sudan. They are traveling with our field director and will be meeting four pastors there for training this weekend. Please pray for Billy as he drives...for one, Elsie Jayne was up most of the night and also, it is rainy season, so the roads are even more complicated to maneuver than normal.
