Team Update

The big team news for this edition is that the Kennells are back and the Hangens are coming!!! The Kennells arrived in Accra on Nov. 10th and are busy settling into their lives and work in Kara. Their container has arrived in port and should be cleared sometime in the next week. The Hangens are finishing up their last weeks of language school and will join the team in early January. Please pray for the whole team as we welcome these families onto the field, and continue to pray that God will provide all the remaining funding needed for them and for the Heads and Stoffs.

The past couple of weeks have been a blur for our family in many ways and yet at the same time have also brought a great deal of clarity to our family’s future. For much of the past three weeks we have been rocketing across the continent going from west to east Africa and back again. Our voyage took us from Kara to Accra where we flew to Addis Ababa and eventually on to Rwanda where we spent two weeks surveying Kigali, the capital, and the Musanze region, which is in northern Rwanda. Our time there with the Miller family brought a great deal of clarity and affirmed in our minds the purposes God has for us in Rwanda. We enjoyed spending wonderful moments with fellow missionaries who are already working in Rwanda and whom we are excited about sharing our lives with in the near future. We are so thankful to God for his faithfulness and care during our journey, for his healing of our sicknesses (members of our family suffered from malaria, an ear infection, bloody noses, and air sickness) and we are thankful to each of you for your support and prayers during our time there.

Since returning to West Africa a few day ago, we spent some good time with the Crowsons and Koonces in Accra. These two families will be moving to Rwanda at the beginning of January and we ask that you pray for them as they wrap up their time in Togo and begin their new work in Rwanda. Also, we have been very thankful that the Kennell family have returned to Togo. They have been spending the past few days in our home and we are so thankful for the fellowship that we share with them. Please pray for God to bless them in this transition time and as they get settled into their home and this culture. Also, we are getting back into the flow of work. This past Wednesday Becky enjoyed a good meeting with Mazalo from Soumdina Po Wayi as well as Christianne from Lassa Tchou. Be in prayer for Mazalo and the other ladies that Becky is meeting with on a weekly basis. --David
