two weeks worth of photos


We live here. So thankful for the natural beauty that helps us be resilient when there is so much hard stuff going on in the lives of people here.
We went to visit friends from church in a neighborhood where we (the church) are hoping to plant a new campus. Pray for Bagira, this community, and that God continues to move here.
 
m enjoying hosting a gathering of expatriate Christians in our home weekly. Gives me a good reason to BAKE! 😁
We have been going out to lunch with the different church staff members to hear their stories and it’s been incredible! This is Augustin and he is an example that this county needs: sold out for the Gospel and motivated to work hard to serve others.

We live in a hilly, densely-populated city, but there are still so beautiful sunsets if you’re paying attention!


Thanksgiving in Congo. Thankful for friends, food and most of all God’s grace.

Photos week of November 11

Don’t forget the reality here. High walls and UN vehicles. These are the civilian vehicles. We see many with mounted guns and peacekeepers in full combat gear.

An intersection in our city where one of the main markets is located. It’s always a bit chaotic!

photos week of Nov 5

Here are some glimpses of our week!

Sunday school! 24 kids, from 2 to 12 years old and two teachers in a simple room with some benches. Madeleine did a great job teaching psalm 23 and prepping coloring sheets.

Birthday celebration 35.0

Drummer boy

We had an all-day Frisbee event today, and it was really great! Lots of participation, perfect weather and mostly good attitudes. It’s pretty cool to be part of this.
This is the field where we often play.
We had a small meal. Bread, fruit and avocados!

We got to celebrate a marriage today! An American girl marrying a Congolese guy, and we don’t know either very well but we had a nice time.
