Ministry Update: Back in Kinshasa!

     "The heart of a man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."  (Proverbs 16:9).  One of the themes of this trip has been flexibility, and while we have learned to adapt to strange food, bucket showers and toilets that don't flush, we never expected to get up and leave Gemena at a moment's notice.  But God is good. And His eternal perspective and perfect plans are greater than ours.  He called us to Gemena at first, but now God wants Shiloh, Chloe and I to do his work in another place and with a new team.  Team Gemena is now back together working with team Kinshasa (Hailey and Laura) IN Kinshasa for the next two-and-a-half weeks here in the Congo!

     ** I didn't have enough internet in Gemena to post many updates, so I will be writing more stories and sharing pictures from Gemena, interspersed with new updates from Kinshasa.

     Thank you all for your prayers for all of us!
