Well, it's been awhile, but we've been back in the US for a month visiting friends and family. It's been wonderful and fun and exhausting!
We're thankful to have finished well with the organization we first went to DRC with, and we're excited for the next season of serving our church in DR Congo through Ripe for Harvest! Learn more at

Today's big news is that Mark is headed back to Kenya for two weeks to
visit the orphanage there we're friends with (AMCC/Agape Mercy
Children's Center
https://amcckenya.org/).
He's helping host a short term mission team from Texas who are putting
on sports camps with local churches. Pray for God to be glorified, for
trip and camp logistics, and for personal spiritual growth for all of
the team!
Here's a neat
video presenting AMCC
And here are a few photos of us with family - all TEN of our precious nieces and nephews!
