Delwyn and Arielle Griffith Seeking to Know Him and Make Him Known Prayer Requests
Del
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.
Senegal Visit
Del and Ezra
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.

Father’s Day Relfections
Del and Ezra on Father's Day
Growing up I never understood the love that a father has for his kids. Now that I have a 15 month old little boy and another baby on the way, I’m only beginning to understand this love. It is a crazy love that is hard to express in words.

Slippers
Ezra wearing Del's slippers
Ezra found my (Del) slippers on the floor and began trying to figure out how to place them on his little feet. I could see the gears turning in his little mind, “Now, how do I put these big things on my feet.” He continued struggling with the big slippers until finally, with a huge grin and much excitement, he managed to slide the slippers onto his little feet. When he stood up, oh the joy that was written all over his face! He figured out how to wear slippers like dad!!!

Birthday
Ezra with Arielle at her B-day party
On May 29th I, Arielle, turned 27 years young. I love birthdays, mine included! I don’t love them just for the delicious cakes my husband makes, or the gifts received (although I do love giving gifts), or because I get to spend time with some of my favorite people. Those are all delightful things, don’t get me wrong! Allow me to explain why.
Baby Steps!
Ezra walking!
Last Friday, we had some friends over for dinner and while they were here, Ezra stood up and started walking across the floor! He only took 5 steps, but we all watched in disbelief as those little feet took their first steps alone.
