Our Family . . .

This is the most recent picture of our family . . . do you see any difference?  Oh  . . . the man in the middle is my brother and friend Pastor Raha Muzibao from the Democratic Republic of Congo.  In your eyes we may not look a like but in the eyes of the Father we are the same . . .

After spending a day with our brother, the desire to serve in Africa runs deeper than ever . . .

A defining moment in the day was when Pastor Raha said, "You are willing to give this all up . . . all this wealth to come to Africa?"

This opened our eyes in two ways:

1.  We know that we are to go
2.  We know that we are wealthy even though it feels like we are not at times

God has a plan for us . . . He has a spot for us in Africa.  During times of frustration and patience building, we often question Him as to where He wants us.  We often ask, "Why is this taking so long?"  We struggle with this since our hearts and minds are in Africa yet our bodies are still in Canada!!!!!

We can't push Him . . . we need to listen and follow
