Comings and goings

Hi. This last week has been full of comings and goings. It seems like we were welcoming people all week. First, Rod & Angelika came up from Ivory Coast. They have been working there throughout the war. They came up so Rod's brother could meet with the drama team, and talk with them about their work.

Then, a SB church group came out. Their church has adopted a group of small villages near us, and they come out 3-4 times a year. They've rented a house in town, and I went over to welcome them. We are thankful for all kinds of missionary partnerships, so it is nice to have them come.

Then, Karin, our german Wycliffe worker, came back from furlough. She now has an irish partner who will help her for the next two years here in Kadiolo. We're praying that this relationship will be an encouragement to Karin, and help her in doing all the necessary things to begin translation. Karin has had almost 2 years here learning the Senoufo language Shenara. So Godspeed to them as they work to bring God's written word into this language for the first time.

Zoom out of the first picture, and you see the beautiful environment it was taken in.
Rod & Angelika had never seen the waterfall, so we were kind enough to show them. If you come out to see us, we'll show you too... :D


Hilary on Dakar Academy outreach last weekend.

Meanwhile back in Dakar, Hilary and Ben are hard at work in school. Ben has been serving a lot with the sound crew, setting up microphones, and plugging in wires. Hilary had the opportunity last weekend to take part of a village outreach that the school arranged. There are more pics on her facebook page, if you'd like to see them. But I liked this one.

Thanks for continuing to pray for us. We are safe. Since the riots against the police about 3 weeks ago, all has been calm. Business as usual. We thank God for a productive environment to work in. We thank God for our church members we work with. they are such a joy. We did get invited for dinner the other night. We had foutou and beef sauce, followed up by riz gras and duck. How do I know it was a duck? The head was on top of the meat, winking at me... Very tasty anyways... :D

Thanks for stopping by,
Tom & Lisa
