Prayer Letter — November / December 2024

Dear Pastor and Church,

It has been a good, but also trying time in our travels. We have seen God do amazing things. We have seen him increase our support, and given us great meetings with great churches. We have also been through some trials at the same time. Whenever you do something for God, Satan doesn't like to sit by and let it happen easily.

On October 17th Malakai was sent to the hospital due to the Rhinovirus after a week of already being in and out of the ER/Doctor's office. He was severely dehydrated and lethargic due to not being able to keep any food or liquids down. He wouldn't move, eat, or drink anything. They tried hard to get him to eat with no luck. They eventually had to put in a feeding tube to get in some nutrients. After a few days of getting foods in his belly it helped acclimate his belly to retaining those foods again and we were sent home! Malakai is now as healthy as ever and we know it's due to the hundreds of prayers for him. Through all this, we realized just how many people are praying for us and we are so encouraged through that, especially as we are working towards getting to the field.

The Lord doesn't allow trials without His blessings. We have some very exciting news! We are expecting another little baby in May 2025 and we are so blessed God is growing our family! God has also blessed with our support and we have 50% coming in. PRAISE THE LORD for his continuance in sending support and thank you to all the churches that have taken us on and partnered with us in the work of the Lord!

God Bless!
