The Lions are HUGE!!

This is "Art being Art..." You've heard the saying, "He's got the tiger by the tail"... Well this is "Art's version" of that... (it's not real--but would it surprise you  if it were?)
At this posting he's on the third leg of his 24 hr journey home -- Babati, Tanzania to Kisumu to Nairobi, Kenya to Kilimanjaro, to Amsterdam then Detroit, MI and finally Erie, PA. I'll meet up with him in Detroit tomorrow (7/29) between 11a-noon and we'll be on the same flight (sitting next to each other) from there to Erie and then we'll find our way home. "Stay tuned" for more adventures...

Children of Promise sign in Babati, Tanzania.  There are 845 children sponsored here and it is the largest of the all the Children of Promise programs in the world.

Art and Bob Edwards, Director of Global Missions have been in Tanzania this week, meeting with National Leaders of the Church of God. Meetings went well and Art ran into Eliazer Mdobi, a former National Leader of the Church of God and an alum of Warner University!  

Beginning our Africa Adventure - July 2011

Art arrived in Africa July 18th with Bob Edwards, the Director of Global Missions for the Church of God, and will be attending the Board meetings for KIST (Kima International School of Theology) and their graduation of this year's students.  While there, they will also be meeting with the missionaries on the ground and national leaders and then traveling to Tanzania to do the same.
There have been "technical challenges" with Art's phone and email service and this is the only picture he's been able to get out to me. So, when more is available, I'll update you. (Technology is great WHEN it works!)
We will continue to live in Lake Wales, FL and Art will "commute" to Africa as needed. We anticipate he will make 3-4 more trips to Africa this year and I (Suetta) hope to be on the next one with him when he plans to visit each of the 7 countries where we have missionary presence.
Please be praying with and for us as we need God's wisdom and insight as we "fill-in" for Global Missions while they seek a Regional Coordinator for Africa this next year.
