Hope of the Nations' helicopter

Luke on his ride

Luke and Gina in Burundi

Dear friends and family,

After 3 days of uneventful travel (praise the Lord) we made it safely to the northern city of Moshi. William and Eunice Rea have been so kind to let us stay at their place for our extended visit.  Today Luke began his first day of teaching at the Berea Bible College and will continue to teach for the next month. This week he teaches on the book of Amos (same as last year) and in two weeks he'll teach a shorter 20-lesson version of the Firm Foundations. He has other speaking engagements in that in-between week so he'll be busy preparing during his free time.

Last month Luke got to ride in a helicopter for the first time. He was asked to help as an interpreter for a medical visit to a village that has no road access. We took a trip to Burundi and had a good visit with Luke's brother Jesse and family, and got a glimpse of their world during our week stay. Luke helped them by organizing one of the storage rooms. Since then Luke has been preparing for his classes and Gina has been getting things ready for the baby's arrival.

Please pray for:

- Strength for Luke as he teaches every day

- Peace for Gina in the last month of pregnancy

With love in Christ,

Gina, Luke and Esther
