We've been looking back over the many faces that have passed through our lives here in Tanzania over the past 6 years.... from 2002 to 2008 Philippians 1:3 "I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you"
So many of you are more than friends, but our extended family abroad! And we love and cherish each and every one of you.
Your faithfull support of this work and our family, through the years and the great example you have been to all who have known you and heard your many stories of Africa, will carry on for a lifetime!
Romans 1:8 "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world." There is no way to ensure that I have a pictures of you all, but as we have been sitting this week talking over our memories of life in Africa and all of the amazing people that we have had to cross our paths, we began flipping through the old pictures and remembering and missing you all! Its fun sometimes to take that stroll down memory lane. We have had some amazing times together,
Lunch on the fly....
You see and experience new things every day!serving the Lord here in East Africa. The kids seem to have grown up over night and I guess it's their changes that are the most drastic. Seeing Gracie at 4 months old tied to mama's back out doing evangelism right on up to today, where she's passing out tracks on her own at 6 years old. Emily has changed from a little 5 year old girl shyand timid in even speaking to the people here to a sweet tenderhearted young lady who loves and adores the Tanzanian children everywhere we go! She is truly blossoming right before our eyes. Little Garrett has been battleing the Tanzanian monkeys from the get go, and being all boy this is an amazing place to grow up and explore what glorious creation is all around us! This last week he lead his first devotional here at the house from John chapter 3 and taught a great lesson on how God must increase and we must decrease! Then led us in song and prayer. I couldnt have been any prouder of him in his life, than I was that day!
I wont keep you too long here, for the stories could write a
2001 Brent's 1st trip to TZ
The survey trip to evaluate the work in January 2001 novel of their own.. but, the pictures are worth the scroll through, and they themselves speak volumes of the remarkable things that have been accomplished in this relativly short amount of time for the Lord's church in East Africa!
I hope you all know how very much we love each and every one of you!
Phm 1:4 "I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers" From Africa with Love!
Brent & Julie and family
