First Trip to Tulear






We just got back from our first trip down to Tulear (the city where we will be living after we finish language school at the end of July). We were grateful for the opportunity to be able to visit and meet some people. Life in Tulear will be hard and will be much different than what we are experiencing now. We definitely felt the isolation while we were there. Please pray that God would give us the strength to rely on Him, because we know that the mission will be impossible without Him. We have posted some pictures from the trip above.

Praise Him

Saw your blog on Blogger under missionaries
and shared a little of your world in Madagascar.

Nice testimony about
"It's not always about the destination."

Thank you for lifting up the name of Jesus.
Thank you for your service.

From another missionary.

"We long for actually hearing God when we pray...
but sometimes you need to be ready
for what you are being told...
and you might not like it.."

Amen. Trust and obey,
not think and decide.

Lord that we may hear your voice clearly
and be quick to obey.

Sometimes it is hard to understand how
All things work together for good.
Getting lost and getting stuck,etc..

So Lord, we give you thanks for
Tulear and the hardness
and isolation there.

We give you thanks for
all things, in all things, through all things.
Glory to you Jesus.

Be encouraged and trust Him.
We walk by faith and not by sight.
Give thanks in all things.

Ec 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

2Co 5:18 And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ.

All things, even the challenges,
the isolation, and the adventures.

Adventure is a favorite word.

Websters - A Bold undertaking,
where hazards are to be encountered,
and the outcome is based on unforeseen events.
A unique experience in one's own personal history.
Often of a romantic nature.

Sounds like Jesus to me.
Missionaries and adventure.
Can you have one without the other?

Thought this complimentary
e-book and website
might be a benefit to you
and those you serve.

Hey Jude!!!

We are excited to share that baby Jude has arrived! It was an unexpected and early arrival, but a welcome one nonetheless. His due date was November 28th, so we had about three more weeks to wait. So on Friday (Nov 9th), we drove up to Tampa for a baby appointment. The doctor checked me and said that there was no action going on...no signs of an early arrival. So we began the 2 hour drive back to Port Charlotte. About an hour from home those tricky braxton hicks contractions were getting pretty regular and by the time we had returned home they were coming less than 5 minutes a part! So we dropped off the kids with Grandma and headed back up to Tampa, praying that we wouldn't have to deliver a baby on the side of the road during the long drive back! Once we arrived at the hospital, it was confirmed that I was indeed in labor (2 1/2 weeks early). I was so blessed to have a special childhood friend be my labor and delivery nurse. Thank you Jen for making this experience so much mo...

We currently have two groups of believers that have been meeting regularly (Kilimary and Besatra). They are at an exciting part of their journey to becoming a reproducible church. They are about to finish learning (studying and memorizing) the evangelism track of stories, and are ready to go out to nearby villages and share the stories! In the next month they will be starting a new set of discipleship stories focused on developing their understanding of themselves in context of the Church. Last week, Grant, Doug, and Nathan headed down south to hold another evangelism event in two villages we have been developing relationships for several years (Andremba and Tanantsoa). Both villages have shown great trust in Grant, and have expressed their readiness to hear about God. The guys spent the past week going through the evangelism story set (20 stories from creation to Christ) with both villages. Both villages gathered their people to hear the stories (about 40 in the small village of Tanan...
