Note:  While we are in the States on furlough we will be updating our “Actualité du jour” page once a month.

July 2007

Burkina Faso

Paul wrote to say that he and David have been working on the situation of Jeanne and feel that they have resolved the conflict with her father and will be closely monitoring the situation. They still covet your prayers with this need.

He also wrote to say that the first Sunday he preached in our absence Mien, a forty year old man, responded to the invitation in accepting Christ as his personal Savior.

Randy and Tonya Smith arrived safely in Burkina and have commenced the work with the Dassasgo church and have also started preparations for the coming year at the Institute. We have received numerous emails from all of the Institute students who are greatly encouraged by their arrival and commencement of ministry.


Stateside

We are now proud grandparents of a new baby girl. God allowed us the opportunity to be there when Lani gave birth to a seven pound two ounce baby girl, twenty and a half inches long. They have named her Mackenzie Jane Joyce. Both Josh and Lani are extremely grateful to God for the good health of both mother and baby.

This month our children will be starting back to school; three in Bible college and two in high school. It will be an adjustment for Rebekah, Rachel and Caleb as they integrate back into American culture.
