Praise the Lord!

The year began in Chad with some 80,000 decisions for Christ. Numerous were in muslim areas of the country. There were many lay workers trained to help these converts grow in their new found faith. However there still remains a need for over 1000 workers in these areas! PRAY for this immediate need as the current bible school system is only able to graduate 200 couples every 4 yrs! Charlie, the missionary that oversees these bible schools, is currently burdened with much of the maintenance requirements of the missionaries and has undergone much mechanical difficulties himself recently. After taking his 4wd in for an overheating problem (not in Chad surely!) he returned only to find his motor completely dismantled! Pray for our quick and timely arrival to help the gospel go forth by alleviating the missionaries of many of these burdening tasks. Thank-you too for the many who prayed for the recent unrest in Chad. Things seem somewhat better now but please continue to pray for peace and protection for both local Christians and missionaries.

School out Already!

Yes the end is upon us! Our year ends with a French missions conference April 23, 24th. We will be taking full participation. Our early departure has been largely due to my previous base of French from Chad and Kathy's amazing ability to pick up the language. Stephen continues to excel in the language, being courageous enough to pray in French in his Sunday school class the last few weeks. Though finding it funny to speak to mom and dad in French, Daniel and Jessica understand well and converse well with their playmates.

Even the stones will cry out!! Luke 19:40

During this year we have seen the Lord provide is some amazing ways. When purchasing some parts for the 4wd, I began relating our calling to the UAP salesman. He was so touched that he has supplied us with parts at cost. When needing a special tool worth over $100, I stopped by a local machine shop that I found by driving around town, and was lent the tool without even as much as a deposit (twice). After ordering a driveshaft over the phone from Utah and explaining why we needed a good quality one (mission work in Africa), and what church we were with the salesman, though Morman, gave me a substantial break on the part. We are convinced of the Lord’s calling! Though we have had difficulty raising support through churches, God has shown us that He owns the cattle on a thousand hills and is not limited to our finite ways. P.T.L.

What to next?

Immunizations have begun, and we are learning an new meaning to hole-y. We have already begun packing some things. We will be taking a 3 day excursion to P.E.I. amid packing, a place Kathy (and now Stephen) have dreamed of visiting. (Anne’s land) Hopefully it will provide some refreshment before the mad dash of packing the container for shipping to Chad. Upon arriving in Ontario we have a mission’s conference until May 11th. after which we will be staying in London with mom & dad Weber while we pack and welcome any help given. Kathy’s brother is getting married June 20th but we would welcome any other opportunity to share of our ministry. Pray for the quick return of our Visas, to be ordered the beginning of June. We have tickets tentatively reserved for departure from Toronto international airport July 1st at 6:45 p.m. followed by the red-eye out of Paris to arrive in Chad at 4 am July 3rd. Pray for God’s continued provision.

Paul, Kathryn,
