Dear Praying Friends,

 It’s the eve of our departure and we have said most of our good-byes.  They never get easier, no matter how often you say them! We praise the Lord for a great six months of home assignment. It was wonderful to see many of you and to share with you what God is doing in our ministry. 

We will be leaving Toccoa and driving to the Atlanta airport tomorrow in preparation for boarding our Air France flight in the afternoon. After an 8-hour flight to Paris and a layover there, we will arrive in Ouaga at 6PM (1PM your time on Saturday).

 Some of you won’t read this until we’ve already arrived back in Burkina, but for those of you who do, we would appreciate your prayers for a safe and smooth trip.  We will be moving soon after we arrive so please pray for the Lord’s blessing.  We thank each one of you for your support in so many wonderful ways. 

 Blessings,

Steve and Debbi
