Fellow missionaries, the Moxons (Bill, Darla, and daughter, Emily) have returned to Lagosette, Haiti after months of prayers and planning. We give thanks to God for His hand in all of this. We ask you to join us as we lift the Moxons up in prayer in the ministry that is before them and peace as they are seperated from family in the States.

Answer to Prayer
Hi-Bye!
Hi...Brian arrived back from Africa very encouraged about the possibilities and the men who are concidering working there.
Spent a day back preparing for his trip to the DR and Haiti...Bye!
Did Someone Say Africa?
Yep, another trip to Africa. Just a two week trip this time around.
Brian, along with two other fellows involved in and interested in doing mission work in Africa, has returned to Swaziland for a survey trip. These men with their loved ones would be such a blessing to the people there and to the efforts of MGM. Please pray for them as they open themselves up to do whatever it is God would lead them to do.
There's Always Something
So good to have Brian back to take care of those things that I just can't seem to do...like taking care of a drainage problem. He's such a handy-man!!
Road Trip
As soon as Brian returned from Africa, visiting the Grandkids in Texas was the priority.
But there was some business to take care of first.
Georgia was having ice storms but we had to get to MO to meet with the Gautneys and update Brad on the trip to Africa and make plans for the future. So off we go eye-balling black ice along the way and avoiding chunks of ice falling off vehicles as we drove through the night to get there. It was worth it being able to see one of our favorite families.
Took off the next day to head to Texas and see the Grandkids. Too excited to say the least!!
Pops was able to catch up on some good hugs and kisses and we were off again to visit Blake and Katie and their children in Ft. Worth. Lots of talking and dreaming of mission work, sharing the Good News, and reaching out to the hurting.
It was a great road trip!
Guess What?
We're expecting!! A grandbaby that is! Wesley and Ashleigh are expecting their 3rd little one in August.
Be praying for a healthy pregnancy!
15 weeks, 6 days..
...but who's counting!
Brian was gone a long time, but due to how expensive it is to travel to Africa, it was more prudent to extend his stay in order to meet up with fellow Manna Global Ministries director, Brad Gautney, and Global Health Innovations director, while he was in Kenya doing relief work.
It was a great trip and he was able to speak with a lot of people in Malawi, Mozambique, Botswana, South Africa and Swaziland and check out existing works and hear the needs of those already serving in those countries. AIDS is definitely at the top of the list and the children left behind when parents die from the disease. MGM will continue to pursue how they can help in these efforts. Please keep us in your prayers as we strive to be His hands and feet on earth.

Christmas
Had a wonderful Christmas!!
Kids, Grandkids from Canadian came down.
First time to spend Christmas with Shawnean and Jono as a married couple.
Festivities held at Momma's and Uncle Bobby and Aunt Joanne came for Christmas dinner and played Mr and Mrs Clause.
Brian was in Africa, so he missed out, but was able to spend Christmas at his folks.
Delinquent!
I've been delinquent on updating this personal blog, so there's some catching up to do...
