We have greatly enjoyed our time reporting to supporting churches as well as sharing the ministry in South Sudan with new churches. Our travels this month have taken us to California, Montana, Missouri and Illinois. Pray for us during our last full month of travel as a family, as Chelsea is ready to take a break in May until the baby comes in July.

South Sudan Update
We are happy to report that the problems going on in South Sudan are not stopping the gospel from being spread to those who need to hear! Earlier this month Bible Baptist Church had a baptism service, and eight new believers were baptized.  Last Sunday, three women and one man got saved! The man was the father of assistant pastor Mori. We have prayed for his father for years. He lived in the village and was an alcoholic. Mori was very burdened for his father to get saved. A couple weeks ago his father was in a bad accident. This caused him to need more assistance than the village could offer. As a result, he came to Juba where Mori and his family could care for him. While in Juba, he attended Bible Baptist Church and accepted Jesus as his Savior! Please pray for our team in South Sudan who is continuing to do the Lord’s work despite the turmoil going on. Pray we continue to hear more reports of souls being saved!
Pillowcase Dresses
Many churches are working hard to learn how to make pillowcase dresses! Two churches we visited this past month invited Chelsea to be part of their “dress making” days. It is so encouraging to see woman of all ages creating these dresses. It is especially neat to see the older woman teaching the younger girls how to sew. Our hope is that we will have enough pillowcase dresses made for our next three Christmas’s on the field. Thank you to all who have contributed! If you can help us, you can mail the dresses to the following address by July 2025:

3809 N. Delaware Ave Springfield, MO 65803

Please email pillowcase.dresses.4.south.sudan@gmail.com to let us know you are willing to help.

Family Update
We are happy to share with you that Lincoln will have a little brother. Our recent ultrasound showed that baby is growing right on track. Chelsea will have the glucose tolerance test in April. Please pray for good results and great health for mom and baby.
