A recent trip for a couple of weeks to Dakar, Senegal, to see doctors about some minor health issues, brought good news for Kirk and Yolanda, there is nothing serious to be concerned about.
An added bonus was that they had many opportunities to visit with colleagues that they had not seen in years. They also enjoyed meeting new arrivals who are learning French in preparation for long term ministry in Africa. Pray that some will consider joining them in the Landuma church planting team in the future. Kirk and Yolanda need co-workers soon as they are moving on in years and the work remains unfinished.
They have also enjoyed visiting with friends Bagar and Grace. Bagar is the son of Masalu, the first Landuma believer. He has begun helping with the Landuma Bible translation work from Senegal and is working on some chapters of Genesis. Kirk had a good opportunity to do some more Bible translation training with him. Pray that he will translate the message clearly and accurately. Grace has a ministry in a Christian school for the deaf.
Kirk and Yolanda have now returned to their country of service by air, and are back in their village.
Over the past few months Kirk has been working on producing a series of Scripture songs using song creation apps. The purpose was to aid Bible memory. He started with the book of Colossians. They have found listening to the songs to be an enjoyable way to get God’s Word more firmly fixed in their minds and hearts.
Thank you for standing with them in prayer!
