Decker Update April 5

Dear friends and family,
Easter greetings to you:  The LORD is risen!  We are so thankful that we serve a Savior who is alive and active today!  Serving Him (through serving missionaries by offering quality leadership and administrative support) with SIM in W.Africa has been our privilege since 1989, and we look forward to serving Him with SIM in other locations in the future. 

We have kept busy with ministry and family life.  Last week we participated in the SIM-Senegal Spiritual Life Conference.  Dave and I each facilitated a session, and I was involved with program planning and program evaluation as well.  It was a great joy to gather with SIM'ers from several places in Senegal, and join them in worship, rest, fun and enjoying one another's company over meals and free time. 

We enjoyed a visit from our friend Anika from our home church, who spent her vacation here and helped out with the children’s program at the SLC.  We also managed to visit some interesting places in Dakar while she was here.

Family update
We are thankful for so many answers to prayer.  Danny has started a good job in Miami, and is learning a lot and enjoying the process. Please pray for him as he balances his time between work and his family.
