Share Time and Family Time

We are in the month of July already and we are so excited to be able to share our story with so many people and in so  many places.  It is exciting to be able to tell about how God has been at work in our lives and the plans that He has ahead for us and the Antandroy people.  Times have been incredibly busy and yet very sweet.  We have officially become homeless until July 25 but have found that we have many homes where we can go and be at home (Thank you all so much). The kindness of family and friends has been overwhelming and has truly blessed us to know that so many people are ready to treat us to such blessings of giving us a place to rest our heads and then to feed us and just let us use their things.
We have begun the track of sharing in several churches.  We shared last Sunday at FBC Huffman and had such a wonderful time seeing the Martin's and to meet the great people of FBC.  We truly were blessed by them and their willingness to pray and support us on this mission journey so Thank You!  We had a great visit with Adam's Grandfather,  in Jacksonville and then to have dinner with several family members was Awesome!  Even having the privilege to join Dogwood trails pastor's for a book discussion and prayer time was great despite the early morning (LOL).  We were also able to visit Adam's Grandmother in Oklahoma and to see some more family there.  We loved it! It is always peaceful.  Today we are in Round Rock and have the privilege to share a little bit at Central Baptist which is where Suzie gave her life to Christ through their ministry and she was baptized.  It is such a privilege to be able to share with the people of Central that God used them to begin His work in her life.  God's timing is so Amazing!  The rest of the month of July is very busy and culminates with arrival at Orientation in Virginia.  We do ask that you pray for safety on the roads as we have estimated it is another 3,000 miles or so in these next few weeks.  Our schedule is below:
Sunday July 10:  Brighton Park BC in Corpus Christi
Wednesday July 13th:  Eula Baptist Church outside of Abilene
July 17:  Parkhill BC in Arkadelphia AR for AM
July 17:  Highland Park BC in Mt. Pleasant, TX for PM
July 20:  Eagle Mountain BC in Fort Worth, TX
July 25:  Depart to Virginia for Orientation

Crating went very smooth We only used 400 cubit Ft

It's Time to Come Home

Image
The Lord has prepared us and led us to make a significant change.  We're coming back to the USA!  Many things have helped us make this decision, but ultimately, the Lord is leading us, and we are just continuing to be faithful to Him. We haven't changed.  Our hearts remain steadfast.  The passion and desire for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done continue to grow within us.  However, we will now live this out on the front lines of the USA in Texas. We are excited to announce Adam will be the senior Pastor at First Baptist Church Valley Mills, Texas.  He will be officially starting at the end of June.  Suzie should be teaching at the elementary school in Valley Mills.  Baylee and River will finish the school year in Nairobi as we pack up the house and say our goodbyes well.  Baylee graduates high school on May 25th.  We will return to the USA in the first part of June to take a little time to decompress before beginning ministry in Valley Mills. We are forever grateful t

Walking By Faith...through a Never-ending Storm

Image
This past month has been difficult for us as a family.  Actually, this whole year has been tough. We have a need to heal physically but emotionally we just don't feel strong due to not being able to do all the required/wanted activities physically.  We are responsible for so much and we feel as if we are giving our all but it just isn't enough.  However, in our physical and emotional weakness the Lord is faithful. All this to say, what keeps us going is serving the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord's. Being actively involved in God's Kingdom work is where we find ourselves being strengthened and reminded that He is strong and Mighty no matter how we feel. Thus, when things break down, when we find ourselves weak physically, when we feel all alone and abandoned, He is there! The Lord is shining His grace and mercy on so many here in Nairobi and around all of Africa.  He has allowed us by His grace to be a part of it.  He is good and so today be encouraged that He can do

Short but Packed

Image
February is a short month but we packed it full! (No surprise!!) Baylee kicked off the month in Olepolos, a village south of Nairobi, where she served a church and its community alongside some classmates. She was able to share the gospel, serve in the church, work on the church and love on the children and students in the village. Adam & Suzie got to tour Istanbul on a long layover headed to Athens where they spent time with others leading the strategy for their cities in other parts of the world. It was incredible to visit places with such rich histories and ancient landmarks, both in Istanbul and Athens. God is on the move around the world. He's the same yesterday, today and forever, which is mind-blowing, especially when your standing in front of an olympic stadium that was built in 330BC, and that's still not as old as creation. Friends from Madagascar had a long layover and we were able to reconnect for a short visit.  It had been years since we'd seen each other a
