Hello from Kinshasa,

Already 13 days in Kinshasa. God is doing great things. Everyone is enjoying here.
Here are notes from each kid in their own words:

There is a lot of fruits trees here in Kinshasa and it rains really hard. Sometimes the power goes out, but it is very fun here. I wish you guys were here. Love Micah.

There is a lot of traffic here, there is few traffic light and there is a lot of trash on the roads. There is no fast food. There is a lot of markets here and they have monkeys for sale and there is a park where you can see bonobos. I like it here and it’s very hot. Love Jonathan.

Hello, it is very hot in Kinshasa. I like it here, I like the trees, the food, I like when we are in the car and can see the mountains. I like when it rains. I miss you, Michelle.

We have been with the church family twice on Sundays, twice on Wednesday for bible study and at an all night prayer on Good Friday. On Resurrection Sunday, Deborah and the kids sang for the glory of God! We have a growing church attendance of 30 plus members. There is much need here for employment, affordable food, water, and housing, and safe transportation. Please keep us in your prayers as we bring hope in the midst of great despair. Pray that the financial support would increase as we seek to begin outreach to the street children. That God would supply all of the needs for the church, the ministry, and our family. Pray God’s continued strength and protection from sickness and may Almighty God increase our finances that we may do more to advance His Kingdom!
