Update: Pictures to share

We have had a great past 2 weeks of conferences and missions presentations of various types. Honestly, we're exhausted - but excited because of the "fruit" that came out of those times. We had the chance to speak with at least a few people who feel called by God to go into missions service, and made many great connections with others who are praying along with us to see God do great things in Africa.

Well, now that the past 2 weeks are in the past, we've had several people ask if we had any pictures from our recent presentations to see. We do have a few that turned out (most didn't because of low-lighting), so we've decided to share them (see below). You know, one of these days maybe I'll have the time to reduce our multimedia presentation down to a smaller file size so that we can upload it for folks to see. The pictures and videos are worth seeing if you want to know more about the situation in Namibia and how well the children are being cared for by Hopes Promise. God is certainly redeeming the lives of those little ones, though there are many many left to care for.

Above: We fed over 40 people that came to our Lunchtime Seminar. We had Grilled Pork Skewers (recipe from Kenya), Seasoned Rice (recipe from Uganda), Plantains (3 different kinds - made with both Green and Yellow Plantains), "Safari Bread", a beef and greens dish, and more. And of course, as a backup, we had pizza.

Above: After the Lunchtime Seminar there were several who stuck around to talk further with us on our upcoming move to Namibia to work with a ministry to orphans and traumatized children. (Ashlan is helping me answer questions.)

Above: It was an honor to minister at the Dulles Family Life Church on Saturday night and NOVA Worship Center on Sunday morning! We want to say "thank you" to all of you at each church who opened their hearts to us before, during, and after the services.
