Bible-storying

Most missionaries are going to places where the people are illiterate. In the United States we usually don't think about this much because we are one of the top literate countries in the world. While here at our orientation, we are learning to "story" or share the gospel/Bible orally and with pictures. Some of the art work below is an example of storying with pictures.

In awe of His wonders

"I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth." Genesis 9:13ff
Sunday Night Cultural Worship.
This is the beautiful rainbow that God gave us last Sunday after our outdoor African Worship Service. I wish the picture could capture the true beauty. God is really at work here at FPO. I am in awe of His wonders.

First day of school

This is Kylie and Brooklin's first day of school. They have absolutely LOVED it. So far they have went on a field trip to the IMB office building, Maymont Park, and they make all kinds of really fun crafts.

Here we are at ILC in VA! This is Kylie, Brooklin and Jacob unpacking on our first day. They all share a room, but it's pretty spacious. The girls have bunk beds and Jacob has been sleeping in a big boy bed!
