Dear Friends and Family,

The school construction is progressing well, we should have the metal roof completed by Monday, the 4th. We are so blessed to have a hard working team as everyone is doing their best to get the work done. Everyone is recovering from their illnesses, we are so thankful for that too!

Not only is the work progressing well, but our team is spending time teaching and interacting with the Gambian workers. They are a hard working group of young men and look up to our team. We pray daily that God will use our live to impact these young men to see Jesus.

We have continued as a team to tell our life stories with each other. It is wonderful to see how God has brought several through difficult family situations and now on the other side are praising God for His provision.

Today, Saturday, the 2nd we are taking the day off with a well deserved rest for the team. The great thing about being in Gambia is that we are close to the ocean! Today we are resting near the beach, we call it our “beach ministry”.

Tomorrow, Sunday we will meet with our “discovery” group around noon and then in the afternoon meet again with church leaders. We are excited to teach about forgiveness and have a time of Q&A and prayer together.

Every morning we hear the sound over loudspeakers of the call to Muslim prayer. This is our time to pray for those going to the mosque that they will truly find the God they are looking for.

Thank you for your continued prayers that our time here will be a blessing to this nation and that many will come to know that Jesus is Lord and Savior.

Blessings, Grace and Peace!

Steve
