Another month has come and gone here in Burkina Faso.
Our summer students Michael, Jamar, Betsy, Jamie and Jessica are back in their village for another ten day stay. The Lord blessed their first stay there! One young man was obedient to God's calling on his life and surrendered all to Jesus. The team has been sharing Bible stories and discipling the new believers. The guys on the team also spend their days hunting with other men. The girls on the team have really been helping out the women in their host courtyard with cooking and chores. Even with some of the team members getting sick, they have really persevered. Please continue to pray for their health and for open hearts in the ones they share with.
Our family will be leaving tomorrow morning for a 4 day trip to Mali. We will be taking care of some medical stuff and then visiting with our new team members Donna and LaVerne. Pray that we would have a safe trip and a blessed time of fellowship.
On a very sad and difficult note.....our family said goodbye to a special member of our family this week, our dog Snickers. We have been blessed for the past three years with the greatest dog in the world. Sadly, Snickers died in her sleep yesterday and our family is deeply missing her. We are thankful that she did not suffer and that we have our other dog Sahara to love on. Please pray for us as we deal with the loss of more than just a pet.
Thank you and God bless!!!!

Habers - you guys are an inspiration to my family. We pray for you guys and your ministry often. We enjoy reading your real life stories and use them as talking points for Chris and Katy. I pray the lord reveals his plans for me and my family as he has done for the Habers.
Hey Habers!
We know exactly how you feel as we lost our "Oreo" also. Time does heal and Sahara will help with that healing process also. We look forward to your return trip home. Let us know when that will be. Much love, LA and Kristin
We love you guys. Sorry to hear about Snickers. After Sahara's wedding, we suggest Twix.
Tibbs got out and disappeared for 18+ hours the other day. It was rough on the kids. Then, the next day mystery meat shows up in the compound and Tibbs won't eat it, but won't let anyone else near.
For some reason Satan is attacking our dogs.
Hey Habers!
I think of you often and can't wait for you to get back home to Marietta.
How awesome it is to hear about the harvest of new souls!
I'm sorry to hear about Snickers.
much love, Linda Robert
