It’s time for a Chopi update!

Things have been moving along well with some growing moments for all in this new body of believers. While there’s the gentle walking with the group through their firsts (even here a year after we first entered the community), they’ve continued to have a desire to learn and grow in the Word.

After a round of visits after a season of being out of the country, we saw some increased faithfulness in Sunday morning attendance and we’re continuing to pray over emerging leadership among the group.

We were given the opportunity to attend a local cultural event in the community celebrating the local women. It was fun to see how happy and encouraging it was to the small body of believers there that we brought the girls and participated in the festivities.

We are continuing to adjust to new family routines and (for the girls and I) be more consistent in building friendships amongst the Chopi kids now that our school year is winding down.

We covet your prayers for the Chopi believers to grow in their faith, for God to begin to pave the way for emerging leadership to develop, and for God to continue to open opportunities for together moments to continue among the Chopi.

I leave you with a spirited traditional dancing moment of the Chopi at the community festivities. 😉

They’re a fun bunch for sure.
