One more week until graduation. We have been going full speed ahead ever since we arrived back in Kigoma about 4 and a half weeks ago. Luke has been teaching at the discipleship course since our arrival and has 2 more classes before the final exam. Gina has been working hard with the girls to get as much homeschool done as possible before our extended Christmas break. Esther will be turning 11 years old on Dec. 8 and we plan to have a birthday party at the beach on Saturday (Remember, it’s not cold here).
Lord willing, on Wed. Dec. 13, 2017 eight students will be graduating from the Disciples of Jesus school here in Kigoma town. We will celebrate and praise the Lord with them at the graduation ceremony. The following day we drive 13+ hours to the big city of Mwanza to catch our flight to Dar on Friday. Then, on Saturday, we will attend the graduation of our good friend Peter Yamungu from the Missions School where he has been studying for the past 8 months. His desire is for he and his family to be a missionaries to the mostly unreached tribe of the Wataturu. On Sunday we fly to Bolivia for Christmas, new year, and Christopher Mattix’s wedding in January. We will begin our travels back to Tanzania at the end of January.
Fourteen of the youth from the town church are taking a short missions trip to Burundi. Please pray for unity and love among the group, effectiveness in their ministry, and safety in their travels.
Please pray for us:
- In all the busyness that we would make time each day to draw near to God through His Word and prayer
- For strength to finish strong
- For the graduates that they would serve the Lord with all their hearts
- For the youth group trip to Burundi
- For safety and patience in our travels
In this season may we remember to bless our gracious God for sending His indescribable gift to us, through Whom we enjoy eternal life and ALL blessings!
Merry Christmas to you and your families,
Luke, Gina, Esther, Emily, Aaron and Michael Johnson
