Children's Ministry in Maun


I have always loved dressing up and acting silly. When some moms got together to plan a Vacation Bible School for the kids here, the idea popped into my head that we needed a humorous character to get the kids laughing and enjoying God's Word. One thing led to another and now I am known affectionately as "Crazy Professer Praise" I have really been enjoying helping out at VBS, designing the logo for the t-shirts, leading the kids in Praise and Worship, and doing kooky science experiments that teach Bible Lessons. I'm not sure who's having more fun, the kids or me!

On The Move Again


We have just signed the lease for the new house we will be renting. It seems almost surreal. We have done pretty well in our small Flying Mission suite (pictured above) but are more than ready to settle in to our own "home" again. It has seemed that life has been on hold for the last 6 weeks, but God is faithful and His timing is perfect. The place we will be moving to is everything we prayed for. The neighbourhood is very much village Africa, and we are believing that God wants us there for His Glory and for His Holy Purpose. So with smiles and praise songs on our lips, we pick up the packing tape, and haul the boxes, for what hopefully will be a place to settle for awhile.
