This and That

This is just an update to let you know we are still here! We are past the middle mark of the dry season, and it is starting to get hotter. But we are pressing forward and getting ready for the family seminar this weekend! We are really excited about this because the church leaders came up with the idea of a family seminar all on their own. They met with us months ago about the possibility, set the food prices and here we are just a few days away from Mumena's first family seminar. We are expecting about 100 people to show up. We are hoping for this weekend to give a specific Godly direction to a father/husband, a mother/wife, a single mother doing it all on her own, and the children and youth of the family. We are hopeful for a new direction within the Kaonde minds of what a family can be and what it means to God. Please be in prayer for this weekend, as it is a first, and things will be interesting. We are thankful for the church leaders diligence in wanting to learn more and spread the work of the Kingdom.
I will leave you with a couple of pictures. This one is of Jeremy at the Congolese youth rally. It went very well, and Jeremy got to connect back with refugees he had worked with 5 years ago.

This next picture is of sweet cousin time! Noah and Bryson usually try to go to church with us about once a month. Usually they stay over at our house for lunch and until their parents come back home from their church. On this day, we had a game afternoon. Bryson was not feeling the game so much but was still sweet enough to give me a wave. Noah and Jeremy are too distracted by the strategy of the game.
