Thurman Update #16 (Written Feb. 24th, 2006)

We wanted to send out a reminder of our get together next Saturday the 4th of March at our parent’s house @ 4p.m. The focus of this time is to be with you, our friends. We look forward to visiting, fellowshipping and praying together!

As most of you know when I first joined Antioch staff we knew this first year would be an opportunity to get my hands on as many projects as I could and work with as many of the staff as possible so that we as a family could best discern where the best fit for us within the many works of Antioch Network. In Senegal I will be working with Mark Snelling, President of Antioch Network, who also is part of Adventure of Faith Church. They have adopted the Wolof people of Senegal in West Africa; specifically the people of a village called Sorokogne.

It is here that we will work with missionaries in the towns and villages to establish a meaningful long-term relationship with the Wolof people.

We are currently involved in two projects: the first is raising money for solar-powered mp3 players that will play the books of the Bible in their language and the second is raising money for mosquito nets because of the spread of Malaria by mosquitoes.

The other thing we will be doing is participating in the Wolof Consultation, which was created as a network of churches, organizations, and individuals who have a focus on the Wolof people to have the opportunity to pray, plan, and work together.

Hope to see you next Saturday!

We are grateful,

Ryan, Noleen, Ethan & Keilah Thurman
