Give the White Lady a kiss!

...this is what a Senegalese family told their 3 year-old son as Crystal sat in their living room. He was reluctant, but obedient. He was precious! But Tapha and his whole family are lost. Crystal visited this home with a group of high school and university students from International World Changers.

This is IWC's first time to come to Senegal. From June 15 to 25, we are visiting in schools and homes and distributing the book, All That the Prophets Have Spoken, and a DVD that has testimonies of how people from another world religion have become followers of Jesus. We are excited to have this group with us. They will be in Dakar and in some of the towns where we have workers. Please pray that many seeds will be sown during this time, and that the Lord will bring us those who are truly seeking Him. Pray for safety as we travel all around and for everyone to stay in good health. Also, pray that everyone can endure the heat.

Updates:
+ Not much has changed with Edward; please continue to pray that he will seek God, and not just financial gain. However, his wife Anna has been studying with Crystal and is very open. She remembers all of the stories from God's Word that we have been sharing. Please pray that she will understand the Truth, and decide to follow our Savior.
+ Mary also continues to study. She is learning English very quickly. Please pray that she will receive the stories, and that her whole family would be saved. Also, she could leave at any time to join her husband in another country. Pray that we will have enough time to share what needs to be shared before she leaves.
+ Please pray for Mariama who wants to study, but has a 6 month-old baby who makes it difficult for her to join us. Pray that she will make coming to our lessons a priority, and that she will seek God.
+ Crystal's best friend has decided to join the English/ Story study group. She is a believer and can help explain some things when Crystal lacks the vocabulary to do it. Our Father is so good to send us help exactly when we need it!

Please pray for Chad's workload as it has increased again due to one of our personnel having to leave the field for medical reasons. This is stressful for all those in the financial office. In addition, Chad is continuing to work on his seminary class which he will attend in July.

We thank you so much for remembering us before the Father. The hot and humid season has arrived which adds to the stress of cross-cultural living. Pray that we will have patience and understanding in our relationships as well as the strength to perspire - I mean persevere!
