Summer !

Wildcats in Mali!
End of School Celebration at L'ecole du Lumiere (School of Light) Assemblies de Dieu.


Summer is underway as we joined many brothers and sisters in Christ yesterday to be a part of the school year's end here in Bamako. We were guests of two Christian schools here and it was exciting to see what the Lord is doing in this nation to train and educate children in His ways here. We are so very thankful for the opportunity we had to be a part of this special day.

As the day closed, we noticed a young boy who was there with a shirt that read: "Arizona Wildcats". Of course, we had to get a picture for you to see. We see so many familiar sayings from ball teams to fastfood restaurant shirts that have been sent to Africa. Your gifts and donations are helping the people here. There is so much poverty and we find it heartbreaking. Thank you for giving.....

Please pray for our summer youth and kids camps that will be held here in Bamako, that God will do great things for the students of Mali. We believe the Lord is raising up a mighty army here among the youth.

We enjoyed church this morning with our African friends at Kalaban Cora, tonight Todd will preach in a brand new church located just a few kilometers from our house in Baco Djicoroni. We will leave Thursday for Senegal for a time of learning more African culture as it relates to construction with our missionary collegues there. Please pray for a safe trip.
