After weeks of waiting for a visa to Ethiopia,  Joanne and Werner spontaneously took off to the mountains thanks to a gift from their children.

Making s’mores by a fire is always life giving!

 

Joanne preaches at the South Sudanese Mennonite church on Thanksgiving weekend.

The De Jongs are grateful for the prayers of their Sudanese friends!  

 

 

A chance to visit new granddaughter “Liv” before leaving for Ethiopia. She’s 6 weeks old here. We are so blessed!
