Packing and Moving Out

Posted by Delwyn and Arielle Griffith on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Ezra likes climbing on the bins

We are moving out of the apartment we have been staying in for the last four months.  The plan is to live with family and enjoy some quality time with them for the next month before we leave for Senegal.  As we move out of our apartment we are trying to fit our life into seven bags.  We ask for you to pray with us during this time of transition for our little family.  Let us know how we can be in prayer for you too!  We know life is not easy and we all have ways God is teaching us to trust and grow in Him.

Craig and I made it home safe and had a great trip together!

One hot muggy afternoon in Dakar, with sweat rolling down our foreheads, Craig and I sat with a fellow missionary and a local pastor.  This pastor shared from his heart, while the missionary translated, about what God was doing in his life, in his Church, and in Senegal.  His story began with (more…)

Greetings from Senegal!  My friend Craig and I arrived in Senegal a week ago.  There has been a whirlwind of activity every day since arriving.  Although many stories could be told, there is one in particular that I want to share with you.  (more…)

We covet your prayers!  In regards to Del’s two week Senegal visit at the end of August you can be praying in the following ways:

-Opportunities to connect with and begin relationships with African brothers and sisters in Christ

-A glimpse beyond the differences that sometimes overshadow the many similarities that exist

-Health

-Safety

-Humility

-Opportunities to let my passion for people shine through

-An excitement to be a part of what God is doing in West Africa

-Wisdom and direction for a friend who is praying and thinking about going to Senegal with Del.

After a great deal of prayer, thought, many conversations, and wise council we decided to have Del visit Senegal for a two week trip at the end of August.  Our main objectives are to see what life might possibly be like, visit missionaries, visit local church leaders, and gain a vision for what God is doing in West Africa and how we might fit into it.  (more…)

The Glare of My Cell Phone

The glare of my cell phone

The glare of my cell phone

Once again the cell phone glares back at me and reminds me of all the people I need to call.  Every couple days I (Del) have a list of people to call in order to set up appointments.  I am making these contacts with people to see if they want to meet with us and hear about how they can be involved in reaching those who have never heard the gospel in West Africa.  The process is some times intimidating as I don’t know everybody I’m calling especially well.  As nervousness often sets in, I am reminded why I am calling people: so people can hear the Good News in their language-THIS is motivation!
