Our Christmas photos look a little greener and warmer than many of you may have experienced! I've just put the best of each of the kids, who are growing up so quickly!
Chad has three passions: Biblical education, The Ohio State Buckeyes, and being outdoors (especially viewing game, both winged and otherwise).
Miriam is a Family Nurse Practitioner who loves to read and scrapbook, neither of which she has enough time to do.
Anya is 10, Ethan is 7, Isaac is 3, and Omara is 15 months.
We are IMB missionaries in Malawi(Southeastern Africa). Chad teaches New Testament studies at a Malawian seminary, where Miriam also teaches health education and chaplaincy. She also volunteers at a community clinic.
1. Thank God for our family. Pray that this adventure draws us together as a family and that we give each other the support we need in our new roles.
2. Pray for Chad and Miriam as they transition into work at the Seminary. Our days will become more structured than before, and we will have to find time to fit in tasks of daily life, time with the kids, time to keep working on Chichewa. Pray that we make time with God a priority despite the other demands.
3. Pray for the people of Malawi. Pray for the lost, that God will prepare hearts ready to receive the gospel. Pray that our friendships would be genuine and that our love would be pure. Pray for Malawian Christian leaders, that they would be diligent and humble. Pray for the students at the Baptist Seminary, that they would receive the training they need.
4. Pray for the 3 unreached people groups in Malawi: the Lambya, the Pangwa, and the Ndali tribes. Pray that Malawian believers will catch the vision to reach these last 3 tribes with the gospel, so that the entire country knows and proclaims God's glory. Pray that believers will rise out of these tribes to reach more of their own people.
Pray for the Seminary Students
A view of BTSM, the seminary where we will train Malawian pastors and church planters
