Home

I am home now after arriving back in Dakar airport at 11:00pm for my flight that left at 2:20 am then landing in New York at 8:30 am and connecting with my flight to DFW which landed at noon. Melissa and the kids loved it when I walked into baggage claim in full African dress. Ethan saw me, turned, and started walking the other way.

Continue to pray for the people of West Africa and the work that is being done there specifically:
Coming to "Discover" the Sereer-Sine

“How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!’” (Romans 10:13-15, NAS). Currently there is one IMB couple serving among the Sereer-Sine people--a monumental task, considering that the people group numbers more than 1 million. During the month of August, two pastors will be coming on a discovery trip to Sereer-Sine country: one from a church in Illinois, and one from Texas. Please pray that the Lord will open the eyes of these pastors to the lostness of the people and will give them a vision for how they can partner with the couple serving among them. Pray also for their home churches after these pastors return, asking that they will “catch the vision” and love for the people and will join in bringing the Good News to the Sereer-Sine.
