Status Update!

With joy I share that my ticket has been purchased for my departure to Kenya and Sudan.  I leave Northwest Arkansas on June 6th!  I have reached 100% of my financial budget goal in promises and hope to see the full amount come in by the end of this month.  Thank you to so many of you who have joined my prayer team and financial support team.  I could not do this without you!  Together with you, with great JOY, I follow God's leading to serve Him among the Maaban people.

"I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view or your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. "  Phil 1:3-5

Mom

Waiting to go to surgery

Eight days later, ready to go home!

My mother is now almost three weeks out from a triple by-pass surgery.  It has been a challenging time for her physically and emotionally, but she is doing well and on track with healing and rehabilitation. We have spent a great deal of time together and it has been precious!   We've experienced many role reversals and laughs.  I thank God that she was able to have the surgery while I am still in the States!  We are optimistic that after a few more weeks of rehabilitation she will feel better than she has felt in many years.  The surgery was long overdue and she has suffered some affects of coronary artery disease for as long as I can remember.
