From Matthew, 9:30 p.m. Thursday, June 6: What a gift today was! We were able to spend time with Professor Dongo from the Congo--who is the President of the Centre. We were also able to meet the 16 students training to be pastors! What an amazing privilege to be with these men of God from Benin, Democratic Republic of Congo, Togo, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Congo Braazaville! We look forward to being with them, encouraging them and building them up in the LORD during our days together.
Samuel, Abigail and Caleb Fluegge took us on a walking tour of the area near their home--in the heat of the afternoon! I said to Caleb, who is 6, 'wow it's hot today!' and Caleb replied 'We're in Africa silly!' Later today we spent 2.5 hours planning with Glenn and Susan the remaining of our time together (from the roof of the home where we are staying!)--scheduling teaching times, interview times with pastors and students, projects that we can help with at the Centre and the Fluegge home. We believe God has sent us to encourage this awesome family and help build His Church in French-speaking Africa--and all of your prayers are helping us to do that! We're healthy, thankful and honored to be here!
All of God's grace to each one of you from across the Atlantic!
