Dean and I have had to make the hard decision to stay here in the US instead of going back to Senegal. After much prayer and consultation with godly leadership, family and friends we clearly see God leading us this way. There are 3 primary reasons for this; the main one being we have not been able to raise enough financial support. The other 2 reasons are; the kids education needs and Trudys citizenship denial. It has been a rough month for us but we are more at peace with our decision and actually starting to feel some excitement in regards to what God has for us in the future. We are looking into three ministry positions with NTM here in the States. One is in Florida, the other is in Arizona and the final one in Missouri. I will try to post something with a few more details next week as well as some family news and photos. I want to start posting once a week again but it’s going to be hard to fit it in with all the holiday stuff going on. We have a final meeting on Wednesday Dec 9 so we would appreciate your prayers for that. Please pray for clear direction and wisdom in the days ahead. Thank you for praying.
