We
are in the process of making final preparations for going back to West Africa.
We have booked our flights to Burkina for July 14.
While
we have been home we’ve had the opportunity to speak at dozens of prayer
meetings and small groups in the UK and North America and we believe people have
been encouraged and challenged as they have seen what the Lord is doing in West
Africa. We met a lot of wonderful people along the way.
On
returning to Africa, in two weeks time, our immediate goals will be to get our
vehicle back on the road, help a new missionary family to get their bearings in
Burkina, and then travel to our village in Ivory Coast for a month to complete
some checks on the book of Luke that we translated into the Loron language last
year.
After
that, at the end of August, we plan to begin a 3-month trip to various locations
around West Africa. We hope to visit our missionary teams who are working in
Senegal, Guinea and Liberia.
We
would appreciate your prayers as we finish off our time here in the UK and as we
return to where the Lord has called us to serve Him. It’s going to be difficult
leaving family and friends again, but we know the Lord will give us the grace to
cope when we need it most.
Thank
you for your prayers and interest.
Continuing
by His grace,
Paul
