The Fluegee family--Glenn, Susan, Samuel, Abigail, Caleb, Jesse and Eliana--are living in the home where the Mudge family lived three years ago. That's where I stayed 3 years ago--so it's awesome to be back! (but I miss the Mudges being here for sure!) But the Fluegees are amazing hosts! We, the 3 Amigos, are staying in a home next door to the Fluegees--we have the entire 2 level home to ourselves with a kitchen, living room and awesome roof where we can look at the amazing African sky. Bill, Brian and I are so thankful to have this opportunity to encourage Glenn Fluegee especially.
The Fluegees are the only American Missionary family with the Lutheran Church here in Dapaong and it can get lonely for them. Glenn just handed in (via email) his thesis for his Masters of Education Degree at Capella University yesterday. His thesis is all about Theological Education in French-speaking West Africa--so he has shared much about the joys and struggles of witnessing God build His Church here already during our short time together. Our prayers from our first team meeting in March have been that we would be a refreshing blessing to folks here--and God is enabling us to be that for the Fluegee family--so praise God! Thank you for sending us to encourage and build up these servants of Jesus. Tomorrow we will head to the seminary to start interviewing some of the pastors and set up a schedule for our days here. We are all healthy and so thankful to be serving on this amazing continent!
We love you, senders! We are better together!
