West Africa

We are so thankful that our church was able to send Wes and I and another couple (Clay and Robin) as the arms of Redeemer Church to wrap around the our friends and the new African believers and for giving us the opportunity to encourage and love on them in person. We were so excited to get to Africa and see the work the Lord is doing through our friends. It was an amazing, life changing trip. God is good.
Here are a few pictures.


On our way!
It was a. very. long. flight. But, worth every minute!

Our friends were praying to thank God for the "blessings"
our church sent with us to give them.



Helping make some pizzas from scratch.

Doing a little substitute teaching.
I was so excited to pick H's brain about how she homeschools her kids.

Off to the village!
Of course, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the babies!

Simply precious.

We were so excited to get to share about our family with the believers in the village. God was good to use WA's life as a beautiful testimony of His steadfast love and continued grace. They were very curious and asked many questions.

Praying together.

Robin, Leah (0ur translator), and I gave manicures and pedicures to the ladies and little girls in the village. It was blessing to serve, love, and pray for them.


We had a wonderful opportunity to worship with some believers in the village at night. For 4 hours, we sang praises and told stories of the Bible with many men and women as their children slept on the ground around us. It was beautiful. God was glorified.
