Lord, use our voices. Lord, use our hands.
Lord, use our lives; they are Yours.
We are an offering; We are an offering.

This is our prayer and the desire for our ministry. As you pray for us this month, please pray that God will use our voices, our hands, and our lives in Training the Next Generaton.
We\’re enjoying cooler, rainy weather – for a few more weeks. Praise God!
Bob loves his classes this year; I think he always does since he loves to teach. He\’s teaching 7/8 Science; 9/10 Advanced 20th Century History; and 11/12 Government. No matter what Bob teaches (science, history, or Bible), his goal is to impart a Biblical worldview. Please pray that his students will all learn to think through things for themselves in a Biblical framework.
Three other technicians have left the field for home assignment, so a lot more technical needs are coming my way. However, I\’m praising God for a short term co-worker who has technical skills. He works in our mission office part of the time, then comes out to Sahel to help however he can. What a blessing!
Sahel Academy needs teachers. We are all overloaded right now. Specifically, we urgently need one math teacher ((better yet, two) for the second semester starting in January. Another elementary teacher would also allow us to split some of the elementary grades. A principal would help with the workload for all of us as we\’re each trying to cover some of those responsibilities. ![\"\"](\"http://creationshope.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/grades5-6.jpg\")
Please pray that God would provide these teachers NOW! (OK – in His time.) For next year, we need either a history or a science teacher. We\’ll also need a math teacher (if the one above doesn\’t stay) and two elementary teachers. Please pray for God\’s people for these positions.
Over the past few years, Sahel Academy has begun to accept students from non-mission and/or non-Christian homes. We see this as an extension of the evangelistic outreach of the missionary community. Since what we teach and communicate here at Sahel is life-changing, we want to share it with others. Please pray for the students and their families who come to us not knowing the Lord. Pray that God\’s message of salvation will be clearly imparted to them through what they hear from us and see in our lives here at Sahel.
Northern Niger is experiencing political problems; Agadez is under military command. All missionaries and embassy people have officially left, although a few remain behind without their agency support. Please pray for the peace and stability of Niger; pray that missionaries would soon be able to return to Agadez.
Continue to pray for Boubacar, that the seed that has been planted will fester and germinate within his heart.
We\’re praising God this month for 31 years of marriage. What a journey this has been!
