New Digs & A Quick Trip


God provided a new truck at just the perfect time for us. Daniel’s role at Amazima meant a longer commute that was fit for a vehicle rather than a motorcycle. We’ve kept our hands on the motorcycle and continue putting it to good use, but we love the flexibility of the truck that allows us to travel around during rainy conditions and after dark. We purchased a 1990 Toyota Hilux. Within 5 days of buying the truck, it had already been used to deliver 1 ton of cement and our neighbor’s baby. But that story is for another post.



New Digs


We moved!......approximately 30 feet away. Daniel and I shifted from a single-room house to a double-room house, exactly doubling our square footage to about 200 sq. ft. We have enjoyed the extra space, especially the amenity of a bathing area inside of the house (opposed to the open-air shared bathing areas that we previously used). We’ve been in our new digs since June and are enjoying the new home within the same neighborhood.




Teaching Opportunities


Amidst Daniel’s busy schedule working with Amazima and GSF, God has given Daniel a plethora of teaching opportunities. These opportunities have ranged from preaching at Light of the World and leading devotions at the work site to speaking to 30 students about our heavenly purpose on earth. Pray that seeds planted would continue to grow for His kingdom.



House Guests


Daniel and I hosted 3 children from Good Shepherd's Fold over Labor Day Weekend. It was so special to share our home and hearts with Mercy, Precious, and Jesse for several days. We thank God for the opportunity to have them in our home!



A Quick Trip


Corinne started an online course called TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) Practitioner Training offered by Texas Christian University. The program starts with 10 weeks of online pre-course training, and it wraps up with a week of in-person training held in Texas. That means a trip to America for us! Daniel and I are heading to the States on Sunday. We will be spending Monday through Friday in Pennsylvania before traveling to Chicago for five days (Oct. 14th – 19th) and then ending with about 10 days in Texas (Oct. 19th – 28th). Although the time is brief, we are excited to see some of you and reconnect. If you are in PA, Chicago, or Texas, shoot us an email and we will try to meet!

Prayer Points


1. Please pray for us as we prepare to come to America. We are excited, but there are also last minute logistics and loose-ends to take care of. Pray for safety as we travel, sleep on the plane, and that God would multiply our time in the States. 
2. Pray for Daniel's work on the Amazima Secondary School. Pray that the process of construction would be honoring to God and that the project would be completed before the beginning of the school year in January.
3. Pray for Emily, our newest little baby at the GSF baby house. She is 7 months old and has a long way to go as far as development and physical catch-up. 



Thank you for praying for us! We are blessed by your support.
