Abigail's Baptism at Daytone Beach


There is no greater joy for a parent than to know that their children are saved and then to watch them be baptized.  Abigail was baptized on July 28, 2016 at 4pm in the Atlantic Ocean by Lew with the Church at Southlake.  So proud of her for being brave for Jesus!




BAPTIZED!!

Interwoven

I really get excited about what the Lord has for us as I see Him working in other believers lives.  We have had such a wonderful opportunity these last few months to speak to different groups of people both in church settings and one on one.  Though the travel has been tiring, it has been a blessing.  As we have talked about where the Lord is sending us and about what we expect the Lord to do in Madagascar, we have also been blessed to be able to pray with people and hear about the needs of those we get connected with.  We don't see this as a venture in How can you support and pray for the Johnsons.  No, this is so much more than that.  We have been able to encourage and pray with and for families in turmoil, health situations, mission discussions for future missionaries to the nations, and so many other things AS we are trying to be faithful in what the Lord has called us to overseas.  Many say to us, it must be hard to now be raising your own support...

Visiting Sinot

Sinot [see-new] is a young man in his 20’s who I met at the carpentry shop in December while trying to buy a table and chairs. He works on various projects there and from the start he has been good at helping me with language, even though I often cannot understand his accent very well. He introduced me to his family and has invited me over to talk with them on several occasions. He lives with his mother and three sisters. His father has never been mentioned other than that he does not live near him.  Sinot called the other day and invited me to his home. I was very interested to visit since Ramadan has started and I know that his sister is a serious Muslim and he has hinted, without committing, that he is as well. I was thinking I would see how Malagasy follow the fast and then break it as sunset Imagine the shock I had when upon arrival at around 4:30pm, while it is still very much daylight, I find everyone except Sinot and his sister, Zahara, drinking beer and I found ...

The Unexpected

The last 7 months have been so many things.  We settled into our temporary home in Florida quickly and have had wonderful fellowship with missionaries who have retired here after serving 20 up to even 50 years of service in Africa!!  Florida culture is different than we expected and much more transient.  There are SO many cultures represented here from all over the US and the World.  The children adjusted well to our new home once the homesickness began to fade.  They have had many unexpected opportunities.  They both played 2 months of rec soccer and then began taking gymnastics.  They have had several opportunities to spend time with the residents here on a regular basis like taking piano lessons from our next door neighbor and a pottery class upon our arrival and lots of bike riding. We have also had special friends come from Mississippi and gotten to spend time with dear friends returning from the field.  Lew's mo...
