Back In Dakar

Whew! What a great time our family had as we took a month to vacation in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Texas. We were so blessed to see so many of you, but our time passed so quickly! Thank you for the many ways you blessed us while we were there. Thank you for your continued prayer support as we jump back into our life and ministry here in Dakar. (Don’t worry. We did sleep for about three days after we returned.)

This will be a short newsletter because we mainly want to ask you to pray for a volunteer team who is here right now. They have come to lead a basketball camp for young boys in the neighborhood around the French-speaking Baptist church. There are five people in the group from Callahan Baptist Church in Florida. They are: Mike, Larry, Chuck, and another Mike and his wife Kathy. People from the church will be helping as well.

Please pray for the following:
* Pray that the volunteers and church members will have good visits as they go into the homes of the camp participants each day.
*Pray that the hearts of the basketball players will be stirred by the love that the believers show.
*Pray that people will be open to hearing the Truth of God’s Word and the testimony of the believers.
*Pray for stamina for the volunteers as it is hot and humid right now – at least they are from Florida. They will have a morning group and an afternoon group.

Thank you so much for lifting up these requests this week. We promise to update you soon about the Vacation Bible School last month and this camp.
