Our update is a little late this month.\u00a0 We\u2019ve had a long month of sickness and we\u2019re just pulling out of it- kinda.\u00a0\u00a0 Abby was the first to catch the bug, then 7 days later Dina caught it, then Tim, and finally me.\u00a0 As I write my entire body is peppered in red, prickly bumps.\u00a0 Hopefully this is the end of my week of sickness.\u00a0 But just this morning Abby woke up with a fever- please tell me we\u2019re not starting the cycle over \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 Thanks to many of you who have been praying for us and encouraging us through this time.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing how being a bit \u201coff\u201d in body can also bring all kinds of thoughts of discouragement and emotions that normally don\u2019t hold much water.\u00a0 But thanks be to God for His amazing grace and strength just when we need it!\u00a0 Please pray with us that our bodies would heal and remain healthy.\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n

Our partners from Germany are just getting back from their home assignment!\u00a0 We\u2019re very excited to have them back on site and our girls can\u2019t wait to play with their kids!\u00a0 It\u2019s been a year since we\u2019ve been together.<\/p>\n

Tim has been preparing for a consultant check that is coming up in just 2 weeks.\u00a0 We plan to have 2 men come in as part of our leadership who will bring clarity to these early days of Bible lesson preparation and thinking through what the first teaching times will look like.\u00a0 We\u2019re excited about this time as it means we\u2019re getting really close to TEACHING!\u00a0 Pray with us as our team meets several times over one week to talk through and seek the Lord\u2019s leading in how He would have us begin the teaching of God\u2019s Word in this village.<\/p>\n

Fall fun!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Like the rise and fall of the ocean tides we cannot help but feel certain ebbs and flows in our relationships with people here in the village.\u00a0 Over the years we have prayed for true love and empathy as we live among the people here.\u00a0 Christ demonstrated His love through laying down His life.\u00a0 Christ became poor in the amazing move from heaven to earth.\u00a0 We his children see that now and are blown away by His great love.\u00a0 Yet how many missed the significance of Christ\u2019s coming?\u00a0 Misinterpreting that love for a hundred different lesser things.\u00a0 Jesus knew where He had come from and where He was going.\u00a0 He knew the Father and it seems that those anchors held Him in the midst of the worst rise or fall of public opinion.<\/p>\n

Please pray for us that we could stand firm in that same confidence that He who has called us is faithful and He will do it!\u00a0 His promise is to build His church, and no power in earth or hell can prevail against what Christ is and will do.<\/p>\n
