Change

Change is good. Especially when it brings about greater efficiency. Blogspot has not allowed for much of that from Togo. So, I am changing to:

Please come see me there. Thanks and God bless you.
I'll try harder to keep it to ten minutes.

God's time is time

This is an odd sounding proverb in English, I must admit. It is something that the Watchi people say often when an event has occured after a long wait or has happened surprisingly quick. I have grown to like the phrase because of the honor I feel it shows God in aknowledging his soveriengty. The Kabiye team who are based out of Kara, Togo are celebrating the arrival of their new teammates Brett, April, and Caden Emerson. The Emerson family have waited, planned, prayed, and waited some more over the last several years to come and work with the Kabiye, and now they've arrived. They stopped by our house in Tabligbo along with the Reeves family for an overnight visit on their way to their new home in Kara. It was amazing just seeing them on Togo soil after all this time and I am excited about the impact God will have on the Kabiye through them and the encouragement that their arrival will bring the team in Kara. I guess it was God's time.

Blogging again after all this time

An incalculable amount of topics have passed through my mind in the last three weeks since my last blog, but due to the unforeseen circumstances that seem to ironically catch us off guard so often, I have been blog-less. Sorry for those of you, assuming there are some of you out there, that had become regular readers. We are back on-line and are gearing up to muse away. Jesus is doing some really exciting things in our lives here in Togo and we look forward to sharing those experiences with you. I hope this new year will be great for you. God bless you.
