Dunkin' Grandkids

Last night at Healing Place Church two of our grandkids home for a short furlough from Africa were baptized in water by Pastor Dino Rizzo. He is one of their heroes. They got "dunked"--and the water was cold. And they both sensed the significance of the experience.

Did Jean and I get emotional? You don't even have to ask.

Can I brag some here? Even at their tender ages Kayla (10) and Levi (7) who have lived most of their lives in Africa are active in ministerng to the orphans by conducting puppet shows and playing games with them. They have even led some in the sinner's prayer.

Prayer request: After years of dealing with sore throats and strep infections, Levi has surgery this week to remove his tonsils and adenoids. We are asking God for a quick recovery so the family can return to Africa on schedule in a few days.

Their African insurance does not cover this so we are believing God for the resources to cover the cost.

(If you can't tell, Jean and I love being grandparents.)

You are right to be proud of them. They are incredible kids. I pray that Levi's surgery goes well. That's no fun for a little guy.
