CiCi's Pizza Fundraiser and the Questions People Ask! :)

We had a purposeful day at CiCi's Sunday September 11th. So, many of our friends came out to visit with us and partner in the vision for Sending our family to Tanzania as missionaries. We were so blessed by everyone's kindness.

We have a few of the videos shot during our time there ready to view. These videos feature questions asked by different people who are curious about what it takes to GO to Africa, and live as missionaries.

I hope to post different videos of questions asked throughout the rest of the month for you to view.

Thank you for taking time to follow our blog and we pray God's most abundant blessings come your way!

For Jesus. because only what we do for Him will last,

James Sr. continues to hold a full time job. He is one wonderful man! I (Deanna) I am teaching a bible study Monday evenings, serving at Word Of Life Family Church which, is also our sending church, helping to co teach an enrichment class based on the continent of Africa to homeschoolers. Working on a BIG ministry project for Vision Tanzania. Speaking as doors open, and of course being a joyful steward of our family and home. I am also training to run a half marathon next year, so planning to run a 5k in a few weeks,  and a 10k in Dec. I start a boot camp next month. So, your extra prayer support would be welcomed! :)


The BIG plans we are working on will be announced later this month. We ask for you to pray God will give us wisdom, revelation, insight and favor as we go forth in His name.

Much love to you all and peace be multiplied,
