Hey, friends!
We've been so busy we haven't posted here in a while. Oops. :)
Things are going well with plans for Bissau. We've been talking to the pastor of Mafi Church, Pastor Bobo, in Guinea-Bissau and he is very excited to have us come and join the work going on there. He has a lot of truly awesome ideas about things we could be doing once we get there and we're thrilled to step in alongside that work and join in. Initially, we'll be working at a Children's Home (orphanage) in the city to prepare it for an increase in numbers as well as teach life skills (eating healthy, washing hands, proper self care, learning strategies, etc) to the kids already there. We're also planning to begin working as discipleship leaders at the church for young people there. We'll be taking language classes to get adjusted, and once we're more settled in, we're planning to take a short trip to see the other projects in some nearby villages, some on nearby islands, etc, so we can see where we may end up spending a large amount of our time as missionaries in Bissau.
Red Rocks Church, here, has continued to be a great help to us as we prepare to leave. They've been in contact with YFC and are currently discussing timing for release of our funds from YFC. Those conversations are going well, and God is truly blessing this transition.
All plans line up for us to be leaving for Bissau at the end of July. Hopefully it can be like Jason's birthday present. :)
We SO appreciate your love and support and value that you took the time to read this and stay up to date.
Watch for our newsletter, it will have a logo on the outer envelope that looks somewhat similar to the heading on this webpage. It will say, "Jason and Erica serve Guinea Bissau".
