Language school complete, an update on our circuitous route to Chad.
This issue covers our plans for the next few months. We will be spending three of them in Uganda on our way to Chad as Phil trains on a new plane. This letter also describes the final few months of our language training in Quebec with a short section on how Kaitlyn and Lily are getting along.
Hello from Quebec. We're here in 'La Belle Province' to learn French as we prepare to serve in Chad, Africa.
This update covers life in Quebec, an update on the pilot shortage in Chad and a brief look back at Phil's backcountry training with MAF in Idaho.
Chad assignment, learning French in Québec and support goals almost reached.
This letter includes an informative diagram and map of Chad showing some of the cities, the country's compelling statistics and the contrast between the North and South geography. There's also a cool little story about how we're putting runways which were built by a recently deposed dictator to good use.
Not really a Christmas card and not really a full newsletter.
It had only been a month since November's update but the large jumps in support warranted another update.
Trip report, support update and field story
We reported on our massive cross-Canada trip and include photos of many of the great people we got to see along the way. Our support also jumped to about 50% in this update. We included a story from MAF in Kenya to give an idea of the kind of work we'll be doing.
MAF acceptance, road-trip plans and Kaitlyn solos.
We were accepted with MAF Canada and announce an ambitious, cross-Canada road trip to begin our ministry partnership (support raising). There's also a link to Kaitlyn's first bike ride video.
Just a great and informative post. I really liked it. Thanks for posting here with us. Keep updating more.
