Music at the church picnic
Last week Yolanda and I drove from Chicago to upstate New York to visit Barrington Community Church. It was a great weekend, seeing familiar faces and catching up in person. We arrived just in time for a church picnic where they had good food, great music, and a short devotional at the end.
Yolanda was given 3 different time slots in which to speak on Sunday, the Sunday school hour, the entire main service, and the evening service. The people at this church have always given us a warm welcome and this weekend was no different. We were blessed to be in people's home for lunch and our hosts who we stayed with took really good care of us.
The church was very generous in taking up a love offering, as well as purchasing items, whether items our women groups made or fair trade items.
We continue to feel blessed with each church we visit; the genuine level of interest and support for the women and children who JM2Z works with and the care for their hearts for eternity.

When we left New York to go back to Chicago, we decided to drive through Canada to Michigan. We briefly stopped at Niagara Falls to take a few pictures. It was Yolanda's first time there. We drove 3 more hours West until we got to Detroit. Then we drove across Michigan and stopped to stay overnight with my grandpa. We very much enjoyed seeing him in person after two years. Even though he's 96 years old, he is up to date with computers and so we regularly skype with him from Zimbabwe. But of course it's always nicer to visit in person!
We are excited to be at Westview Christian Church in Shreveport, LA this weekend and visit with everyone there. We are so thankful for safety in traveling and good health so far. After this weekend, we will be heading West (Idaho, Oregon, California, Wyoming, Colorado) for the next several weeks.
