Dakar Academy again



I leave Dakar on Tuesday to go back to Mali. Shortly after I arrive we head back down to Kadiolo. We are excited to get back to our good friends there, and to sleep in our own bed again. Hopefully our little cobra friend has found another home outside of our yard.

Hilary and Ben are both off to a good start at school. Continue to pray for them. Days are busy with classes and activities. They need to be able to weigh good friendships, and to be good friends in return. They need to continue to grow in Christ as they apply their relationship to him to this new school setting. This is a Christian school, and should encourage them in their faith. But we all need to constantly and actively apply our faith to our daily tasks at hand, don't we? I pray for that for my kids. Especially as how it relates to their choices in friendships.

Other news: Pete & Debra McKlurkin have arrived in Mali. They will now be running the guest house. Erne & Jan will be helping them with getting acclamated, and getting a tutor for french study. We are glad for their arrival, and look forward to being teammates with them.

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for praying!!
