Living in Training

We are having a wonderful time in training.  It has been a busy time but definitely worthwhile.  We are spending complete days in class and asking God to let us retain all of the information that we are learning.  The girls flew on an airplane for the first time and did awesome.  So thankful to be able to have spent some time with family and friends over the past few months.  We love you all very much.  Some quick highlights are that Baylee turned 7 and got her ears pierced.  We are so proud of our little girl and pray that God would allow her to not only grow physically but spiritually as well. 

What Can you Pray for Us About:
  • Pray for retention of information
  • Pray for the Antandroy people--that they would see the creator in His creation.
  • Pray for all paperwork to be swift and easy to complete.
  • Pray for our team members and fellow believers in Mada.
  • Pray for our families and church as they settle in with the thought that we are going.
As we continue on this journey of following our Savior and the calling He has put on our lives we declare that there is life and hope in Him.  His name is Jesus!  Isaiah 6:13, Isaiah 11:1

 Just a few bags... LOL

    We're so thankful the transition is going well thus far. We'll definitely be praying for you to continue to retain all you are taking in. Guzzle away!

    Thanks, as always, for sharing photos too. It keeps people closer indeed.

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

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
