I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a good time with friends who are like family to us. We actually had a nice-sized turkey this year compared to the scrawny one we had last year. It was a real treat!
Jim left the day after Thanksgiving to go on the Dakar Academy Outreach. These are results of the teams that worked in several villages about three hours from Dakar.
The various teams:
• Harvested 8 sacks of peanuts
• 18 bundles of millet were pounded into grain
• Poured a foundation for a new church (mixing over19 tons of cement)
• 1200 bricks were made by hand using 8 tons of cement mixture
• 10 villages ministered to by the VBS team
• Drama Team presented the Gospel in 13 different villages
• Medical Team cared for 372 people
• Built 15 benches and 4 stools
• Setup and took down 35 tents
• Drew over 2,000 gallons of water from a well using buckets and ropes
• Hand-pumped and filtered 400 gallons of drinking water
• Ministered in 6 villages during evening campaigns
• Over 3,000 people heard the gospel
• 735 people prayed to accept Christ
Here are some pics from the Outreach.

Thanks for all your prayers and support!
