Dear Prayer Partners,
We are so thankful for your prayers! We are amazed at how God helps us in the little everyday things as well as the big things, and we know your partnership in prayer affects it all.
We want to let you know about our U.S. trip coming up. It started as two of us wanting to attend our niece’s graduation in Kansas, but we added the other three when we heard about our nephew’s wedding in Wisconsin, then realized in prayer and talking with doctors, that this is the time for Brad to have surgery to address his stomach issues.
So this will be a relatively short trip for family events, medical appointments, surgery, and recovery. We may see a few of you in Wichita, which will be great, but we will not plan to do any speaking or traveling to churches while we are there.
Being able to take this trip to be with family during this time and get medical care is a huge blessing that we’re thanking God for every day!




Here are some important dates:
- May 13-14: Fly from Rwanda to the US
- June 5: Brad’s surgery
- July 15-17: Fly from the US to Rwanda
Will you please praise Him with us for this opportunity?
Please pray for…
- Healing and peace for Brad and his body.
- Logistics of getting everything ready and finishing up ministry here in Rwanda.
- For us to be depending on and listening to the Lord throughout all of this – in family time, when Sarai and Gideon go to camp, in the medical things, in the travels, etc.
- Safety and peace in travels.
Thank you so much!
Love in Him, Brad & Chelsea, Sarai, Gideon, and Ian
