Pray for the Fleischmanns

This last month has seen the arrival of new teammates. Lisa, Lord willing, will be with us for 6 months. She is playing a major role in the creation of the family devotional book; sketching the storyboard, choosing props, and taking photos. Stewart and Charisa, along with their little son Micah, are here for one year. Stewart is doing his college internship here in Mali, so he is doing a lot of studying in addition to practical ministry experience: language learning, English club, book project, and friendship evangelism. Charisa has her hands full being mom to their 10 month old son, studying Bambara, helping with the book project and supporting Stew in all he is doing.


We now anxiously await the arrival of Anthony and Tracy Fleischmann, along with their two kids Keith and Jessica. The Fleischmanns are currently raising support to come to work longterm; Anthony in the area of "Business as Mission" aka BAM, and Tracy to teach at Bamako Christian Academy. Anthony's skills are being asked for constantly by the Malian Church, as they see their general weakness in the area of correct business practice and financial accountability. Tracy's ability to teach is always a need at BCA. While not necessarily seen as a frontlines ministry, our teachers are essential for keeping many missionaries on the field and in their area of service.



Please pray with us that God would raise up partners to support Anthony and Tracy in the work that He has called them to do!
