Prayer Requests for the Aftrica Team

As the 6 Drips go on a one day safari and then begin their journey home, please keep them in your prayers. We haven't heard much from them this last week. We continue to pray that God would be glorified and we are eager to hear from them soon.

Please also keep Michael, Joe Joe and Sawyer in your prayers as they send the six drips back.

No pictures of the Six Drips

While the boys headed for a mountaintop experience, someone was able to post pictures of fruit and spice in a gameful fashion: Name that Spice!!

However, we still have no pictures of the Six Drips. Parents, spouses, youth groups, brothers and sisters all await the pictures of the Six Drips in Tanzania... We can only assume that their time ministering there is an answer to our prayers.

As you are praying for the Six Drips, please also take the time to Name that Spice!!

Ladies Fellowship Memorial Day weekend

Hey ladies
Michelle Jones and Dacian Keaton will be hosting a ladies fellowship up at the church Sunday May 24th from 6 pm - ??? in the fellowship hall. This is a chance for the women to get together and enjoy each other. The theme for the night is paper crafting: including scrapbooking & card making. Please don't feel like you have to be an avid scrapbooker to join us!

Dacian will be teaching how to make 10 cards from 3 peices of paper. Then we can exchange cards so we all have a little bit of all kinds (symphaty, thankyou, b-day, etc). She will provide all the supplies you need to make the cards (but it would be helpful if you stopped by Hobby Lobby or Micheal's and picked up some card sized paper beforehand.)

There will also be people around to teach some basic scrapbooking technique. So if you have some photos you'd like to preserve, bring them with you!

If you have materials, please bring your scissors, cutters, paper, stamps and embellishments to share with the group. Be sure to put your name on all your stuff so it gets back to you at the end of the night.

If you are new to paper crafting, no worries! Just show up and you can use our stuff to make a few cards to send. We just want to fellowship together and enjoy one another. Even if you aren't going to sit and work on anything, stop by and enjoy a snack with us! We'll have some praise music playing and some games out on tables for those who aren't "into the whole scrapbooking thing."

Bring a 2-liter & a snack or dish to share with the group.


Please RSVP with Dacian at 859-881-5160 or daciankeaton@hotmail.com
OR with Michelle Jones at 85-223-8731 or abbas_girl@insightbb.com so we know how many tables to set up.

Also, if you would be willing to come a little early and help set up, please let us know that too!

Many blessings!

Six Drips from the Brook

Tonight at prayer we sought after names for the six people sent to minister with Michael and Joe Joe. The "Six Drips from the Brook" was the best we could come up with for tonight.

When I got home, I found this email from Tracy letting us all know a little more about the plans for the six drips to split up three by three. Please keep them in your prayers.

Our prayers tonight were that God would be glorified no matter who was ministering to who in Tanzania. I was excited, but not surprised to learn from Tracy's email that the whole team will be meeting with locals for discipleship and encouragement.

And remember, when assembled with other drips, a brook can become a river which can become a waterfall at the edge of a cliff.

Here's the day to day schedule:
  • Tomorrow and Wednesday Evan, Josh, and I are going up into the mountains to teach Bible stories to children and play games with them and the girls are staying here in town to learn African things.
  • Thursday we are prayerwalking.
  • Friday we're going to Maasai land to prayerwalk and help start up a new ministry with local missionaries
  • Saturday we relax
  • Sunday we're going to a Maasai Church
  • Monday we drive to Mngazi to do health teaching, watch Jesus film, AIDS video (This is easily the biggest day of our trip and really need prayer. This visit has been a long time coming for these people)
  • Tuesday we will travel back from Mngazi.
  • Wednesday we pack and visit town.
  • Thursday we go on Safari.
  • Friday we head back to Dar Es Salaam.
