New videos!!

Hey there. I just wanted to tell you a little about the next 2 videos that you will see below. They both are "old-school" Christian Rock videos that I found!! I should note that I am NOT responsible for any neck pains that may come about by old head bangers trying to "bang" to these songs!! You know your age and the current state of your own neck. :) If you enjoy them, I have found a few more and will post more in time.


Just let me know if you are interested. The third video is one of William and Mariama playing on the couch one Sunday afternoon after house Church. At the end of the video he stood up and grined and while laughing said "Be careful!!" Then he got back up and started playing again with his sister. See lisa's blog here for the next video. We hope that you are enjoying the videos that we have started to add.

"Jim Morrison's Grave" video Steve Taylor I predict 1990!! Another old-school video!!

Video: Deliverance - Weapons of our warfare- a little old-school Christian rock!!

Mariama one Sunday morning- That is me talking in that voice to her.

Another guest blogger!!

This is a friend, Mark Snelling, from Washington that has come over with Tyson and done 3 trips here in the last year or so. I asked him to write a little something about his time here and what they are doing, and he actually wrote something!! (if that refers to you, you know who you are that I am still waiting to hear back from :))

You asked me to write a little blog for your blog so I am adding a couple of things and including some of what I wrote above. Please feel free to edit accordingly.

After two great weeks in Senegal, we made it home with no major wrinkles and having all our luggage. It was a long haul and we are tired but have returned with a real sense of joy, a deepened understanding of what God is doing among the Wolof and ever greater clarity as to how to pray for you and the Wolof. Yes, the obstacles to the launch of a people movement among the Wolof are real but at the same time, our God is more than able to break through. It is a real joy to be part of His work toward that day! This was now the third trip we have made as a team with six months in between each trip. We were encouraged by the missionaries who work in the village our church has adopted to come with that frequency if we are to be able to develop a genuine relationship with the people of the village and have a clear sense of the role we are to play in the process of leading them to Jesus. We are now experiencing the initial fruits of these visits through deepened prayer and more focused projects. We have made it a point on each trip to connect not only with the village but also with missionaries like the Finches working in Dakar and other regions of Senegal in order to have a broader perspective on the whole people group as well as a relationship with the families in the one small village we have adopted. This means adding an extra couple of days to each trip but for our church it is turning out to be well worth the time invested.

Until Alll Have Heard,

Mark

A video blog. I think we may start doing more of these as they are much easier and more fun then trying to type to you. Plus this way you can see us and hear us more often.

Video- Jumping and "Yep, I know it!"
