A Small Course Correction

March 2, 2019

The LORD’s plan has always been better than ours. He’s proven that to us time and time again over the years so were okay with the news we’re about to share. Back in September, 10 days before we left for for the DRC, we learned there was a small amount of cancer found in my (Michael's) prostate. Since there is no way from our village to monitor the cancer and treat it less radically, we have opted to have my prostate removed.

Lisa and I will return to the States on March 7. I’ve promised my family that I will be on my best behavior during the recovery period, so they are allowing me to return to the DRC on May 22. We know that you all “have our backs” with regard to prayer; it is, and has always been a huge comfort to us. Miles, Emilee, and the girls will continue to stay in the DRC while we are gone.

We’ve had tremendous communication problems here in our area since the national election process began at the end of December, so we’ll do our best to soon inundate you with what we’ve been up to since December.

Somehow! - Michael
