Life Update

CHE training skits

What are we doing these days? El Padre is currently traveling to a city in the East to have a 5.5 day conference with 20+ pastors and evangelists from the two far east regions. Accommodations are rough and not comfortable for him. It is tiring and the work does not get many thank yous. Please keep him in your prayers. Specifically that there would be a respected member of the church there who validates the importance of the CHE training in their lives.

On the home front El Padre has continued working on fish farming to test it at the national office in hopes of having evangelists use it as self sustaining business for them. He has found they will have to drill a well, that as far as wells go isn't too expensive, to get water without chemicals that will kill the fish. There is always something to figure out! The well drilling should begin this week! Hopefully fish are not far behind. Please pray this will encourage and help the evangelists to provide for their families.

CHE training on sack gardens

In the home we are busy, busy with homeschooling. We have had to quicken the pace (and only took 3 days off at Christmas!) as we are going to try to finish by the beginning of April. We have decided it is beneficial to have ZigZag tested for any special needs he may need accommodation for in schooling and we will attend a homeschooling conference to make that possible in mid-April. We would like to finish school before that disruption as we would have been close to the end anyway.

Hard at work

We heard a few months back that Easy-Teasy's hips have made no measurable improvement. Although discouraging we continue to petition to God in prayer. The doctor will watch his hips until he is 3.5 to determine if surgery is necessary. Please join us in praying that his hips would grow correctly with his brace.

We have not heard anything on ZigZag's citizenship application. Once approved we would have to travel to an unstable west African country for a doctors visit. We are working with the US embassy in the Sahel to try to have a doctor approved in our country's capital. In all this we wait on God's perfect timing. It leaves our travel to the US (and taxes because of number of dependents) up in the air. Please join us in praying.

Thank you for your support of our family in so many ways.
