Seeking God

Saturday started the month of Ramadan. This is where the muslim people fast and pray from dusk to dawn for the forgiveness of their sins. You can go all around Abidjan and see the many people that are seeking God as they pray and read their Quran. I am so thankful for the work that Jesus did on the cross! Please take some time this month to pray and/or fast for the muslims across the world. The muslims are seeking God during this time, and we pray that God will make the truth clear to them. Please pray for my friend who I story with each week, that God will open her eyes that Jesus is the only way.

Our small group is continuing to go well. Each week we are understanding more and able to communicate. This is very encouraging! It still seems like it will be forever before we will be at our level, but it is coming.

Many of you in Piggott will be seeing Autumn soon! She will be there in September. This is a early Christmas present for her (it may have to be for her birthday, next Christmas, etc :). She is very excited to see family, she also has a long list of restaurants that she wants to visit! Of course, she keeps rubbing it in, but Jon keeps telling her that he can change her ticket until we can all come! But she doesn't seemed to worried, I think she knows that we would be in big trouble from the grandparents if we changed our minds now! She will be speaking (well, this is Autumn...so it will be short:) at Emmanuel on a Saturday night at Eric Fuller's mission night.

Make plans to come visit us, we have room for you! Come in the months June - August, the weather is wonderful!

Au revoir,

Teresa

Life is becoming very busy!!

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been so long since the last time I blogged! We have been very busy lately. Autumn started 9th grade this week. She is enrolled in an online school, Northstar Academy, and we have stayed busy getting it all figured out. It seems to be a great program, she actually has teachers that send her all the work and I send it back to them. I am hoping after this first few weeks, that it will become easier on me! :)

Our small group has been going very well! As I told you, the guys has decided to start meeting on Sunday afternoons so the people that they invite may come. Last Sunday we had a total of 8 guys! They seem really eager to learn the stories and share with others. They keep Jon busy and always have many questions. We all are currently learning Creation to Christ. After about 8 weeks, the group will have a summary from creation to the return of Christ that they can go out and use for evangelism. Continue to pray for their growth and that we can get some women involved! You can see some pictures above from the past Sunday.

I have been telling the weekly stories to a muslim friend of mine. I didn't know at first if she would let me share with her. But she has let me tell her the stories and this week when she came to visit me she asked if I had another story for her. Please pray for an open heart has she hears the word of God. Again above, I have posted a picture of her with her newborn baby girl.

Thank you for the prayers concerning our language learning! We have seemed to finally hit a point where we have more good days than bad. Continue to lift us up!

Our health has been pretty good. But there has been a lot of mosquitos lately, so pray that we continue to stay healthy. We don't have time to be sick! ;)

Send us a comment to let us know how you are doing!
