Happy 7th Birthday Aidan!

We love you!

Ethiopia

Tomorrow we leave for

We will be doing ministry in Arba Minch, which is near Lake Abaya on the map above.

Please pray for health and safety for our entire team.

Please pray that God would open the hearts of the Gamo people.

Please pray that God would use us to help establish strong churches in Arba Minch.

Please pray that those we reach would go out and spread the gospel to the outlying tribes.

Please pray for Austin as he will be in New Orleans on a missions trip also.

Please pray for Autumn, Asher and Aidan, that they would have a great time with family while we are away.

God has shown Bart and I that He loves to answer the prayers of those who are seeking His face in obedience. We would really appreciate all of your prayers as we GO!

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

We love you, and can't wait to share about all the amazing things God does in Ethiopia!

Happy Father's Day

My husband is the best!

He leads our family by example, not just words.

He is teaching our boys to be men of integrity.

He is showing our daughter what kind of man she needs to marry,

by the way he treats me.

Part of Ashers' Father's Day card reads...

"My dad loves me and my family. My dad works hard every day. He is also very nice to my mom. He works hard and still has time to play. He protects us too."

Our kids are watching, they are taking notes, not so much on what we say, but how we live.

I thank God every day for my husband!

He is amazing, and he knows how to LOVE his family.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.

Happy Fathers Day!

17 YEARS!
