Short Term Missionary

Some of you that read our blog may already know that this summer, or winter for us, Matthew Paisley is here in Namibia working with us in our ministry. Matthew got here on May 31st and is living with us and working along side Brian and the youth.

The youth have really enjoyed his being here and it is making a huge impression on the youth as well. Matthew will soon be preparing and leading some of the Bible studies in the girls hostel, my high school Bible study ministry as well as our teaching in the park on Saturdays. So please pray for him as God has laid this opportunity before him this summer.

Matthew is also praying about entering seminary once he is finished with his undergraduate at NCSU in Raleigh, NC.

One of the girls here had fun giving him a Namibia hair style this past week and we have enjoyed teaching the kids in the location area the fun game of Ultimate Frisbee.

Attached are a few pictures of Matt, his new hair looks and our friends in the soccer park in the location area here in Grootfontein. Also, my bread baking is getting better. I made some more sour dough bread today and boy does it smell and taste good.

"Matthews Namibia style corn row hair.  Suama, one of the girls in my youth group, worked on this for a few hours the other day as we watched South Africa and Mexico play in the World Cup opening game."




"As I posted a few weeks ago, I have taken on bread baking.  This is my batch of sour dough bread getting ready to hit the oven."

"This is what Matt's hair looked like after taking the corn rows out."

"These are some of the youth that we were playing Ultimate Frisbee with at the location soccer field.  Notice that the soccer field is all dirt! Makes for a lot of fun sliding and some good strawberries on the knees when you fall, but we all had a great time.  We had many people watching and trying to figure out what we were doing.  Many laughing at us in good fun. Cameron made a friend as well, as you can see them in the bottom right of the picture."

"This is what my bread looked like after baking.  Boy was it good!"
