We have recently been very burdened concerning a vehicle for the orphanage. The truck that Lucy is using has served the home well....but is now almost ready to give up its ghost! The cost for the major repairs for this vehicle could actually help us get another one, although it would be a used car. We are trusting the Lord to bring the "new" vehicle soon

Last night, as in every Tuesday night, the ladies who live in the girls dorm meet for a time of fellowship and prayer. I was the scheduled speaker for last evening; however, there was a visiting team from Cananda, and the ladies helped us with that meeting instead. It was a fun time of games, devotion and fellowship. I am so glad the "girls" get a break from their studies and were able to just hang out for a bit...
This is Tumaini (meaning "hope" in kiswahili). Tumaini is from Tanzania, a second year student and is the Dorm Monitor.

One of the games the team prepared was to show the girls a tray of assorted items and have them memorised them and write them down from memory. Here, Debbie, with the tray and almost 20 items (or more!)...

Pauline sharing a short devotion on Lydia, encouraging us to be women of reputation and to live for the Lord. The time ended with prayer for one another.

Many haven't even seen dental floss before, much less to know how to use it. It was a good evening, in every way.

I had been feeling pressured with an unending to do list and preparing for a missions trip. I was sharing with Tony how stressed I was before leaving to have a quick dinner with Vickie. When I returned home, Tony suprised me with this beautiful bouquet. He just wanted to bless and encourage me. Yes, he's sweet and thoughtful and let me just put it out there once and for all, HE IS ALL MINE :) I was surprised by the number of people who liked the post. I suppose many are "curious" what a pastor's marriage look like...is it perfect? Is it easier because both of us are pastors? I thought I share a few pictures and thoughts on the subject. Firstly, our marriage is not perfect - it's just like yours - there are always up and downs, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the sweet and sour! In many ways, a ministers...
