August Update

Dear praying friends and family,

The time for our return to Tanzania has come. As I write this the car is all loaded up with our luggage for our trip to Seattle and then our flight Monday morning. It has been a great furlough of seeing lots of chapel friends and many family members as well.

Since our last newsletter we visited Luke's uncle Don Tinder and his son Derek and his family in the San Francisco area. We had a great time with them and got to share about the work at Sun Valley Bible Chapel. We enjoyed the train ride there and back.

With the cousins in California

As soon as we got back we helped out with a week of Day Camp (like a VBS) at the Tieton Drive Bible Chapel in Yakima, WA. We did the journey through the Bible and it was a wonderful outreach to the kids of the community. The children really enjoyed acting out parts of the Bible as well as all the teaching, activities, crafts and singing. Please pray for lasting fruit from this effort. Since then we have been getting stuff we need and packing for our return to Tanzania, and now it has come. 

Our Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) in Tanzania is 7:30 AM, Wed. Aug. 27, 2014 (Local Time). In the meantime, and for the next few months we will be awaiting another arrival. The ETA for his/her arrival is February 2015.

Aaron has no idea what this is all about!

When we get to Tanzania we'll still have a 3 day drive to our home in Kigoma, then we will begin unpacking and settling in. The discipleship course will be starting up soon after that. Please keep all these things in mind as you pray for us. Thanks.

May God's peace be with you,

Luke, Gina, Esther, Emily, Aaron & ????? Johnson
