Getting ready to go

We got our trailer from storage. (Big Thank you! to Carpenters!)
And did some patch work on it. Family work day. reviewing storage boxes, checking for damage, and repainting/calking the trailer.








We are getting ready to go, but still are somewhat short on support. Please continue to pray that God would supply those needs.

Thanks for stopping by,
Tom & Lisa Seward

Last weekend

Hi. We have only less than 3 weeks before we leave Lansing. We plan to fly out of Chicago June 8th. So we're packing up like mad, and still seeing people we haven't seen yet, and speaking in churches. We still have support to raise, so pray with us that God would touch hearts.

Yesterday we spoke at Mayflower Congregational Church in Lansing, MI. We were so warmly recieved. We shared in the service, and they had a cookout & Sunday School picnic afterwards. When we got to the church, we were even greeted by the church sign.


Several church members expressed interest in what we shared and our call to Africa. Pray that God would continue to work there, and that the relationship we've started at the church would be a long enduring one.



On Saturday, the Schilder family visited from Wheaton. We used to work with Carla at Scripture press. Anyway, they have been friends since before either of us had kids.
It was great to renew, and catch up again.

Keep praying for us. Tom, Caleb, and Ben have been hit by an awful sinus-cold affliction. We pray for this momentary health glitch to be resolved so we can feel like normal.

Thanks for stopping by,
Tom & Lisa

Our friends the Maugel family from Ft. Wayne.
Thanks for stopping by today. Please continue to pray for us as we travel and speak. This weekend I'll be teaching youth at South Church in Lansing, Michigan. Next weekend we'll be at Mayflower Congregational church, also in Lansing, Michigan.
Please pray for our support needed.
We are $1200 a month short still. But God is good.
He is able to provide.

Thanks again,
Tom & Lisa

Church visits

Hi. Last week we visited Wallen Baptist church in Ft. Wayne, IN. It was so nice to see so many of our Wallen friends again. We also had a Christian dentist work on us. It was a little interesting for me (Tom) to speak after having a wisdom tooth pulled on the Friday before.
Thanks again to Maugels who are really a joy to hang out with. Ben & Caleb had a great time there, too.


This weekend we are leaving for FBC Lansing, IL. We are looking forward to seeing friends there again, as well. Pray for us as we travel, and that we would be sharing what God has us to say.

Also, pray that needed support would come in.

Thanks for stopping by,
Tom & Lisa
