Hi friends and family,
It has been a long time again. I truly do apologize for the long delays. I am a busy mom and internet is not always our friend.
So last time we shared some big family news about the adoption of our four kids. It is still a slow process and we are patiently waiting for things to proceed. We pray that God will "light a fire under people" but till then we know God has a plan and we wait for his timing.
Since we have decided to adopt all of our orphans our ministry is seeing a shift. We are starting to focus more on the youth of our church and our community. For the youth of our church we have started a youth service. The youth meet two Sundays a month for a time of worship, pray, teaching and small group discussion. The church youth is mostly taken care of by Jessica. Jonah is also working to start a campus ministry at the local High school. He is working to save some money for a budget to build a small building that they can meet in.
We also are so excited to have had visitors for the last couple of weeks. One of our friends and fellow missionaries got married last week and so we had wonderful friends come from the US for the wedding and spend some time with us. Our kids have had a wonderful time reconnecting and us moms have had a wonderful time talking and playing games. I am hoping that you will all see a guest post soon from one of these dear friends. She has a great description of our ministry that she will share with you all and will be able to share more pictures with you all.
Sorry it is a short post also but I have my last day with these dear friends so I am going to spend as much time with them as possible.
God bless
