It
seems like April '05 was the shortest month in history!
We are thankful already to be entering May because that
means the rains are coming!!! There are already signs
that the rainy season is coming: cooler temps, more
humidity, and plants turning actual shades of green
rather than brown (or black). To us, this means a garden
in our yard and more time outside playing with our dog,
Toby.
Andy
and the guys are busy with several village visits a
week. We would ask you to pray for the church in Mebar;
they still seem to be struggling.
Praise
God that our visits to Dano Pari seem to be going better
than ever before. Also, the village of Sorian is responding
well to Andy and our friend Severene's lessons.
Melissa
and the women of our team had a wonderful 2-½ day jaunt
down to the beautiful town of Banfora for some much-needed
R & R. They also are making great progress on a curriculum
that they would one day like to teach to Dagara women.
Pray for wisdom as to how and when to present this curriculum;
as planting season is starting soon, we will likely
need to wait until after harvest in order to get a good
turnout.
Finally,
pray for our team and for us as we head down to Ghana
to host this year's WAMR (West African Missionary Retreat)-
each family will be traveling over 40 hours in our vehicles
on not-too-reliable West African roads.
Thank
you for your support and prayers! We love and appreciate
you all!
Andy
and Melissa
