KANSAS

I am back in Kansas (and a few other places) for a few months. It is so good to be here!!

Field near Buhler, KANSAS

There is much joy in seeing family and friends again. It’s been over 3 years since I have seen some of you. I would enjoy connecting with you if we haven’t had the chance to catch up yet.

THIS Sunday (October 10), I’ll be sharing stories of Burundi. I invite you to join me as we proclaim God’s light in this part of the world.

7PM at Ridgepoint Church in Wichita, KS at 8000 W 21st N.

We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy. This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. –1 John 1:3-5 NLT

END OF 2017

Merry Christmas!!!

I am so blessed to include you in these updates.  Thank you, thank you for your financial support and dedicated prayer during my time in Canada!!  Your responses and interest were encouraging to me.

I am back in Wichita!  It is good to be back in a place that means so much to me.  It is also a different feeling as I process all the things that I have experienced these past 15 weeks.  While in Canada (I only had 1 Wizard of Oz reference) it dawned on me that this is the longest I’ve ever lived outside the borders of Kansas.  I’ve had a lot of “windshield time” to make sense of all this and I’m still chewing on it.  As I try to find a new routine and schedule for my time in Kansas, I do hope to connect with you in a more meaningful way than just email.

 

GIVING

That being said, I do recognize we are approaching the end of the year.  A part of our culture places importance on the tangible financial benefits of end-of-year giving.  There’s no shame or guilt in it, that’s just a part of living in North America.  I get it.  I’ve done it.  If you are still looking for a gift to be included in 2017 attached are a few links for my project with MB Mission.  These are the cold, hard, transactional facts, but I would love to catch up with you in person in 2018.

I pray you have peace this Christmas and can enjoy one another (Ephesians 4:2),
