30-30-30

Starting in the month of December we are praying for God to bring in 30 partners, pledging 30 dollars a month, in 30 days.  That's just a dollar a day.  If we reach this first goal, that will bring us nearly 1/3 of the way to our overall goal of 100% support before July 2013. In doing so, those 30 partners will join us as we seek to faithfully serve Him in the ministry of Rift Valley Academy, investing in the lives of missionary children.  If you are already a ministry partner with us or you are unable to give at this time we ask that you pray with us for God to provide the right people to come along side.  If you are able to give or are considering supporting missions please pray carefully about this opportunity.  Any amount you may be able contribute will help us reach our goal of being fully supported before we return to the mission field.  We are excited for you to join us.

RVA Kids Unite!

We are so blessed to have about a dozen RVA kids in our general vicinity this year. Most of them are at Calvin College, but a few are scattered at other colleges close by. We are all going through transition together, so it is fun to get together now and then and tell stories. How we love to laugh over each other's first impressions, funny moments, and remember the things we miss about Kenya. We have had the kids over to our house a few times for dinner and hanging out. It is just as much a ministry to our family as to the college kids as we are all longing for a familiar face. Our own kids just love the big kids and can't wait for them to come to our house! Here are a few pictures of our gatherings....
