update

hello everyone we are here life has been hard but we praise God for sustainign us,presently we have 300 holes dug for the banana trees and we want to plant within two weeks if possible. Right now im in the city are awiting our crate to try to clear it at the ports. We have been working with Pastor Modou Camara and helping develop his own garden to empower his mininstry. We had a chance to see Pastor Lamin from Guinea last week and we are looking forward to partnering with him in the future in ministry. God seems to really be leading us to working with those two people and their congregations. We are praying and ask you also to pray with us, about starting to send national missionairys out into Gambia, there are presently a few weel equipped Gambians that are ready and many more that are awaiting training but willing to be sent. The plantations we are starting will help sponsor these missionairys, but andrea and i are also praying about starting something along the lines of a Gospel for Asia type thing, were we create pampletes of the missionairy and then maybe a video (we want you cassie and andrea to come here) which we can then use back in the states to raise funds. But we are only praying about that now and still trying to focus on what we already have to do here. We love all you and pray for you. Please pray that God strengthens our relationship here, as satan seems to attack that aspect of our lives. Also please pray God guides and gives us disernment to know his voice.

later

tom and andrea
