Africa Dinner evening

Tonight we had a special evening at one of our supporting churches, FBC Lansing, IL. They held a special Africa dinner event as a fundraiser to help us raise money for airfare to Mali... It was especially nice as it was a more easy going evening than a high pressure presentation. And everyone had a good time. So many church members contributed to different kinds of food that we ate... and cookies, and desserts...

It was fun.

Grilled Chicken was delicious.

African grass hut cupcakes. :D

Elephant cookies...

Zebra cookies..

Ok... I'm sure you are tired of seeing all these food pics... .I just wanted you to see the creativity that FBC put into this event. Maybe you could be inspired to do some kind of missions evening like this. More of a taste & see & hear evening than a more traditional presentation. We did share stories, We did sing.... that was fun. Lisa had several ladies dress in african clothes, and do a little fashion show...
Along with a tie baby on your back demonstration. It was really a fun evening.

Continue to pray for us as we have several issues facing us this summer. We are looking forward to going back to africa this summer, hungry for it, really. But we have a couple of major things to work out first.
We covet your prayers. Please pray that God would go before us, and deal with issues that seem large to us. He is able to accomplish greater things than we can ask or think, and we need to rely on Him, don't we???

Thanks for stopping by,
Tom & Lisa
