Danny’s Trip to the United States

Danny went back to the States for 4 weeks – from the end of February through the end of March. His main purpose in going back was to defend his dissertation for his Doctor of Ministry degree from Bob Jones University. He successfully defended it shortly after he arrived there; then spent much time getting the final copy in the proper format.

He spent most of his time in Greenville, SC and was able to visit with many friends there; but he also travelled to see family and friends in Memphis, TN; Hopkinsville, KY; Little Rock, AR; Knoxville, TN; Nashville, TN; and Savannah, GA.

We are thankful for God’s protection during the trip and for little blessings (being able to sit in an exit row on both flights across the Atlantic) and big blessings (the many demonstrations of Christian love from people showing hospitality and giving gifts). We are also thankful for God’s protection of Carrie and the kids as they stayed in Cameroon and for the help of the other missionaries while Danny was away.

Trip to Zambia

The day after Thanksgiving we left Foumban for a two-week trip to Zambia to visit missionaries there and attend a leadership conference. We stayed with the John Smith family and saw many other missionary families while we were there. We enjoyed seeing old friends and making new friends. We also enjoyed seeing the work of the ministry there.

The first week was the conference, which was held at Central Africa Baptist College in Kitwe.

Danny spoke in one of the sessions. Other sessions were taught by missionaries in Zambia, nationals from Zambia and other countries, and visitors from the United States.

The conference was attended by more than 250 people from Zambia and several other countries.

The conference ended with a graduation ceremony for three students from the college. On Sunday Danny preached at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Wusakili, which is pastored by one of the graduates.

The following week we went to Victoria Falls. It was the beginning of rainy season; so there was not as much water falling as there will be later in the season. It was awe-inspiring nonetheless.

New Family Member

First of all to update the water situation: after about a month without water, it finally came back on and has been relatively consistent (for here) since then.

Now for other news: we added a new family member a few weeks ago. After much discussion and debate, he was named Dodger.

No water

It has been more than three weeks since we have had running water in our house. We have been surviving thanks to the spring water our guard gets for us every night and thanks to the rainwater we have been catching. Pray that the water starts running again soon.

Also pray for those who are going to camp this summer. Last week was the camp for girls ages 10-15, and we had 7 go from our area. This week has been the camp for boys ages 10-15, and we had about 10 go from our area. Next week is for girls 16 and over, and the following week is for boys 16 and over. Pray that those who are not saved will get saved. Pray that those who make decisions will be faithful to them.

Pray for us as our coworkers the Loeschers are leaving for furlough next Friday. The only other missionary that will be here for about 3 or 4 weeks is Ellen Doyle. Pray that we survive until the Mossmans return August 10.
