We think face-to-face is always better. Now we have the technology to do just that (sort of)! We are trying a more video-based format for our newsletters and we’d love to hear your feedback. Our hope is that by using video, we can give you a more personal glimpse into what your partnership is doing to serve the children of Africa.
You can see the video and download it for your own using the following link.
Please feel free to use all or part of the video in your churches, home groups, missions updates, etc. Included this month, you will find updated news, praise reports, and upcoming events information on:
• Sunday School Shelters (See the 0:16 time stamp.)
• Teacher Training (See the 1:00 time stamp.)
• KidsLife 4D (See the 1:43 time stamp.)
• A personal thank you (See the 3:32 time stamp.)
HOW WE ARE HANDLING THE COVID-19 CRISIS
We are thankful that we are both healthy. So far, Togo has only had 135 cases. But due to government restrictions to help slow the spread of the virus, we have had to cancel all of our ministry programs, trips, and events, at least through July 2020. So what are we doing in the meantime? We are hard at work at home, writing curriculum for the KidsLife 4D program (see the 1:43 time stamp) and working on year 3 of
the Principles for Life Children’s Church curriculum. We intend to be ready to go as soon as the doors open again!
PRAYER REQUESTS
• Please pray for our son Jake, and our son-in-law Tim, who both need new employment following the pandemic.
• Please pray for wisdom as we begin to explore rescheduling cancelled events. Right now it is a struggle to know how to prioritize, and when it is wise to travel.
• In the wake of COVID-19 shutdowns, many of our African pastors are without any income and have no way to feed their families. Please pray for those already financially vulnerable who have been hit by this outbreak.
