Team Update

The big headlines for our team remain the arrivals of the Miller's baby and the Emerson's container. The container should arrive in Kara on Sunday. (UPDATE: The container arrived Sunday afternoon and we will be unloading Monday morning! Praise God!) The latest on the Miller baby is that we are still waiting. Little AnnaMarie is being a little bit shy it seems!

David and Bryan continue to teach from the Sermon on the Mount out in the villages. The annual conference for the Kabiye churches is just over a month away, so we are making preparations for that as well. They are also working on various development and aid projects which you can read more about below.

Reeves Family Update - kabiye4christ@yahoo.fr

Greetings from the Reeves family! We've had a good week and praise God for his faithfulness! Around our house our big excitement has been the long power outages and a termite hatching in one of the doorframes in our dining room. Check out Becky's blog for the story http://withunveiledface.blogspot.com. Caleb turned 6 months old on Friday and he is now sitting in a high chair for meals! We are enjoying him so much but he's growing too fast for his mom and dad! Hannah, Elijah, and Gabriel are thriving and enjoyed playing with some of the neighborhood children yesterday afternoon in a sand pile on our road. Becky even heard them trying out some of their French and even a little Kabiye with the children. Mostly hand gestures and body language seemed to get the job done, though.

David has had some extra time this week to get a lot more done on the goat pens in our side yard. He is planning to begin a goat project this next month, raising and breeding goats to give as gifts in the villages and pass on what he learns here at home about good breeding techniques and health maintenance. The children are all looking forward to this project, as well! David also really enjoyed helping the Ewede Christians build the foundation for their church building last week with Brett. Becky was able to teach a women's lesson in Ajadaa in place of David's usual visit this past Wednesday and enjoyed her time with the women there. May God bless you this week! Love, The Reeves Family
