Outreach weekend is here!

Dear Friends and Family,

It has been a busy year so far. We can't believe it's already nearly December!

Tomorrow we leave for our Thanksgiving outreach weekend. Most of you know this is one of two major outreaches DA takes to villages in-country here in Senegal. There will be 140 people going. Here's a rundown of what we will be doing.

1) the drama team and children's ministry team will be traveling to a number of villages

2) a team will be painting a church in Bikol (the church of which we laid the foundation and made bricks by hand last Jan.)

3) a team will be painting a mural on the front wall of a church in Diofane (the church we built last Nov.)

4) our medical team which will include 3 nurses and a Dr. will minister in Diakhao

5) a team will be digging & laying a foundation and building bricks by hand in Diakhao

6) we will be staying at the YWAM center in Nakhar and a team will be setting up camp

7) a small team will be building 20 benches for the new church

In the evenings, we will be holding evangelism campaigns in the following villages:

Fri., Nov. 25: Diakhao, Gandiaye, Poukham Tok

Sat., Nov. 26: Mbelakadio, Ngouloul Peul, Mbouscene

(It might be fun to Google Earth those locations!)

We REALLY covet your prayers. We will be ministering in an area that is predominantly Muslim and we'll be ministering in villages that have just begun to hear about Jesus. Please pray for open doors and open hearts. Pray against spiritual resistance and that God will prepare the way for us. Pray for protection in travel and at all the ministry sites.

Sun. morning, we plan to worship on our way home in the church that we helped build last Nov. in Diofane. We're looking forward to the blessing of worshipping with our African brothers and sisters and seeing the results of our labor there last year.

We will send out an update after our return.

Thanks, as always, for your continued support!

Mike and Mindee
