January 15: outtreach weekend!

Jacob is heading out today for a weekend outreach in an area of Senegal about four hours from where we live. We are praying for the high schoolers and staff to be blessed and to be a blessing as they minister.

Here's a note from the DA Chaplain about their plans: "Last year, a group students and staff from the Evangelical Christian Academy of Madrid, Spain joined us for an outreach weekend to Sass where we evangelized and laid a foundation for the church there. A small group went back a month later and roofed the church. Now, just over a year later, we are able to return to this region to minister once again. Not only will we be evangelizing in a number of villages in that area, but we will have the opportunity to invest in 3 churches: 1) We will be painting a mural in the Sass church that we built last year. 2) We will be able to lay the foundation to a new church located in a village where we evangelized last year. 3) We are going to roof a church in a third village. We will be doing evangelism campaigns in 3 different villages in the evenings, working closely with the national church leaders in that area. Once again, we have about 120 students and adults going. It will be a logistical challenge transporting the different teams to the 3 different villages, as well as feeding everyone. However, it's exciting for us to be used by God to further His Kingdom here in Senegal. As always, we covet your prayer support!"
