Lifting off for Guyana!

In two days we'll be starting on another adventure - another missions trip to Guyana! This time all four of us are going, and we'll be gone for about two weeks (Jan. 4-17). We are very excited, but also apprehensive about taking the boys. It will be good practice for taking them to India! Amos loves airplanes, and we are really looking forward to taking him on his first plane on Friday. Andrew will be teaching discipleship seminars and helping with children's Bible Clubs. Morgan will be teaching in the Bible Clubs as well, and we will both be doing a marriage seminar one day too. We are very excited to be taking a couple friends, Grace and Hannah McIntosh, with us. Andrew's Dad and sister, Amber Rose, and two KMBC college students will make up the rest of the team. Guyana is the only country in South America that speaks English, and the majority of the people that live there are either East Indian or African. The public schools are still open to letting people teach about Jesus during school hours, so we will have the privilege of teaching the Bible Clubs both in the schools and in the churches. Andrew's Dad will be teaching a class on the Prison Epistles to pastors who are endeavoring to get ordained.

  1. So cool! Can you video Amos when you take off? We'll be praying for you and the boys - especially that none of you get sick!!

  2. What a powerful group God is dropping in Guyana for almost 2 weeks! Young people who are on fire for the Lord. Andrew and David's powerful preaching/teaching on doctrine as well as holy living. Your family life modeled before them. The Gospel presented to perhaps a couple hundred children! Praise the Lord! Would love to see Amos' face and hear his remarks while in the plane!!
