First and foremost we are praising God for His Word, which knows no language or cultural bounds and is presently being taught to our friends here in Madina Bafé. Please pray that the “living and active Word” (Hebrews 4:12) would penetrate their hearts, that they would see their need for Christ as Savior, and that they would turn from their sin and embrace God’s Truth.
We are thankful that Lindsay’s tooth is in “remission” right now. After nearly two months of continual pain/ discomfort, she is experiencing some relief. We know that this is due to the prayers of you at home. Thank you! At this time, we are planning on waiting until after the teaching is done to have her tooth worked on. Please pray that this would be possible (i.e., that it wouldn’t become infected/abscessed or the pain make the waiting unbearable).
“The Battle of the Colds” – that’s what we’ve been fighting lately! Even with good sleep, vitamins and a good diet we just can’t seem to fight off the germs that are running rampant in the village. Please pray for patience during this season of illness and for the Lord’s protection, especially over Elijah and Lenaya.
Please pray for Aaron as he writes Bible lessons, reviews them with his helpers, prepares for the evening Bible teaching, and spends time with people in the village. Pray for physical strength and health, mental sharpness, and wisdom.
Pray for us as a team – for unity in decisions, open communication, and consideration and encouragement of each other.
Pray for us as a family – that our marriage will be unified, strong, and focused on the Lord, that we would raise Elijah and Lenaya according to the Word and not neglect them or be inconsistent during this busy time, and that we would be flexible and considerate of one another.

The story of the man who asked if there was a medicine for his sin really struck home with our kids.We are praying for you as you begin the NT. We can hardly wait for arrival of each email update, and hear the responses of the people.
