Sharing God's Plans for Our Lives

It has been such a blessing to share at 7 churches over the past 5 weeks.  We're most excited that these churches have COMMITTED TO PRAY for us, all missionaries and the Antandroy people!
Here are some photos of our time with our brothers and sisters in Christ!
 The Martin family (pastoring) at First Baptist, Huffman, TX
 Our family at FBC Huffman
 Sharing at Central Baptist in Round Rock (where Suzie was led to accept Christ and was baptized)
It was so good to go back and share the all that God is doing in our lives and to see how the Lord is moving there as well!
 Corpus Christi - met some awesome friends!
 Eula is where Adam got licensed to the ministry and had his first oppurtunities to preach.
His dad pastored here while Adam was in high school.
 Here are some friends in Eula, some of which are still involved here at FBC Eula.  WE LOVE YALL!!
 Here we are sharing at Parkhill in Arkadelphia.  Adam got to speak at his MK friend's ordination to become a deacon years ago, then was asked to preach a revival there. It was so encouraging to go back and share how the Lord has answered their prayers since they prayed specifically for God's calling in our lives as foreign missionaries almost 3 years ago.
 We love the Crockett family!!!  They are so special to us!  Thanks for taking care of us for the weekend and showing us an AMAZING time!!!  (More pictures with the friends and family posts yet to come.)

Higland Park Baptist Church
Some of the crew at Eagle Mountain Baptist in Fort Worth.  Thanks to everyone who came to hear about the Lord's work and to commit to support us.  It was so good to see all of you.  We love you all!!!

My prayer for these churches and the others we have spoken at is from Philippians 1:3-6, "I thank my God every time I remember you.  In all of my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

He is not finished with any of us.  We are thankful for all that these churches have done to help grow us and encourage us to become who we are today.  We continue to lift you up as well and love each of you so much!

My prayer for so many others that are not completely sold out comes from Philippians 1:9-11, "And this is my prayer:  that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God."

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 i...

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...

Broken...But God...

Image
The world is broken. This can cause our hearts to become downcast. There are so many issues, moral, political and natural, that cause pain and suffering. But God... On the 29th of January, we visited the site of my Triathlon accident. It was the one year anniversary. I wore my "But God..." t-shirt to express his goodness even in times of hardship. It's good for us to look back and remember God's goodness. We know the victory is won. Jesus is on the throne. We're in the end times. May we live with urgency that all would have the opportunity to hear and respond. We've had the opportunity to go out evangelizing in the town of Juja a number of times over the past year. Last week we were there again. As we began walking the streets and stopping to share with those in the community, we came across a group of young ladies. They had exposure to the gospel and confessed they were seeking to good even in the midst of temptation but they had not yet believed and confesse...
