Workers Needed



We praise God that we have the ability to be working under His name and for His fame.  As we come into this awesome season of being able to share the story about the birth of our Savior we remind you that there are still many who don’t know the story.  So when we sing songs like “Go Tell it on the mountains….. and everywhere” we must remember that people still need to hear the Good News.  We know that many of you live in the great U.S.A and we are so appreciative for all that you all do for us.  However, as we enter into this new season of Christmas and with an emphasis on missions giving (Lottie Moon) we ask that you not forget that there are still over a billion people who have yet to hear the story of Jesus.  As we continue on with the Lord’s work in Madagascar among the Antandroy people we recognize that we couldn’t continue to reach the unreached and unengaged of Madagascar unless you had already given and covered us with prayer.  Thus, as we said before we thank you and we praise God for you all!  We do want to remind you that there are still over a million Tandroy waiting to hear the story of Jesus and we are working to go out and reach them by training local partners, partnering with are brothers and sisters in Christ in the U.S.A and sharing the Good News every day.  We have not seen a large amount of people come to Christ but we have seen and found that the Lord is calling people to Himself and giving us the privilege of introducing them to the life that is found in Christ.  The one thing that does continue to stand out to us is how many people seem hungry and thirsty for the Word of God and the Truth that is in it.  They just keep asking us to share and teach them and for us to go with them to new places.  God is at work and we are excited about what He desires to do.  We do find this rule at work as we feel stretched and unable to tell all that desire to hear and that is “the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few”.  Would you be a worker?  Would you join us in praying, going, and reaching those who have yet to hear the name of Jesus?   Thus, this Christmas season remember to share about Jesus Christ our Lord.  Remember to support your local churches and missions.  We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Thank you once again.  Finally one easy way you can do it is by adopting a village from our Southwest Team website at madaboutstories.org.   (We are working on adding some more Tandroy villages to the list)

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
