Family
We wish you all a blessed and fruitful new year in the service of our Lord. Some of you may be wondering what we have been doing. We have been in Bolivia for the past 5 weeks and we have one more week to go. We enjoyed Christmas with Mark & Carol Mattix (Gina’s parents) and then more family arrived for the New Year. On January 6, 2018 Christopher Mattix was married to Genesis and we were able to celebrate the grand occasion with them.

Apart from those events we have been on some trips, done some hiking and swimming in the river, had times of fellowship with the believers here, attended the meetings and had opportunity to preach and share about the ministry in Tanzania.

| Riding in the back of trailers and pick ups. |
Tomorrow evening (Wednesday) begins a Missions conference with people attending from near and far. We will be involved with speaking and attending and it runs through Sunday. Please pray for that the Lord would call more of his people into the great harvest, and that there would be good unity, prayer and fellowship.
Travels and Upcoming
Next week we begin our long trek back to our home in Kigoma. We will meet up with an intern from Emmaus, Alexandra Pue, who will be doing her Cross-cultural internship with us for 10 weeks. Please pray for a profitable time of learning for her, as well as adjustment to a new culture. Also arriving is a family, commended from North Carolina (John and Jennifer Kinlaw) who will be doing 4 months of language study before moving to Kigoma to help us in the Lord’s work there. Pray for their language acquisition and adjustment, as well as vision and unity as we will be working together.
Disciples of Jesus School
Upon arrival we will be getting ready to begin a new year of our discipleship course on March 5, 2018. Please pray that the Lord would bring those who are hungry for his word and humble to learn.
