Encourage One Another

One of the things that we have found that really energizes us here in the States is having the privilege to share about the Lord's work around the world and in Madagascar with the local churches and individuals.  It has been truly amazing to see the genuine excitement that people have for what God is doing.  We hear so many negative things at times that it seems like we just forget to stop and encourage one another on this journey.  We have found that in this world we live in we are quick to judge and speak all the things we find wrong.  We eat it up and post about it all.  Very rarely do we actually focus on things that are good, noble, worthy of sharing with others, etc.. You all know the verse in Philippians 4.  Thus, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you that have so warmly received us and loved on us.  We have been encouraged by you all and are so grateful for all of the support we receive.  We are so thankful that we have found so many people who have faithfully been praying for us.  You help us know that we have support and that we can continue on serving faithfully in Madagascar.  The church in the US has things to work on but it is also doing some things well and the majority of people truly desire to see God glorified here and around the world.

We pray that you have truly been encouraged by what the Lord is doing.  We pray that you have found that we don't desire to bring glory to ourselves but to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. We also pray that you have been able to see that there are so many people faithfully serving the Lord around the world.  People are waiting to hear and the Lord has chosen to use us all to go and reach the unreached.  We are shattering the silence one day at a time.  God is doing something great in Madagascar and around the globe.  How awesome is it that we are all a part of His great plan to bring Glory to Himself.

Prayer Request:
For the work in Mada and our teammates
For our travels as we go and share
For our medical clearance to come quickly
For our time left here in the States
For the events that are making times really hard for people in Madagascar

Praises:
We have had some wonderful times while sharing
We have had safety on the roads
The girls are doing well at LCCS
God provided some rain in Androy land.

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...
