Go Impact
‘Go Impact’ is a program offered through the IMB for high school students to take a one week mission trip to serve overseas with an IMB missionary. We were able to host 15 students from Hope Church in Las Vegas, Nevada June 19-27.
Each evening we had a time of worship, lesson, and discussed ‘highs, lows, and buffaloes’. What an amazing time together!!!
We started the week with evangelism each morning and a Kids Club each afternoon at Gaborone Baptist Church.
On Saturday, we hosted a Family Fun Day and had about 300 people come through.
Saturday evening everyone came to our home for a combine Fusion (high school program) and Elev8 (middle school program). Somehow we hosted 80+ people at our home and managed to play a game of Fear Factor.
Trenton did an amazing job sharing the gospel that evening with the kids and challenging them.
Chicken hearts may have been involved in Fear Factor 🙈
We hiked Kgale Hill their last day with youth from 3 of our local Baptist churches.
Nehemiah Teams
Nehemiah Teams is a program through the IMB where students can serve for 2 months during June/July. It’s a good glimpse for students to get a little closer/deeper glimpse into what it’s like to serve as a missionary.
We have enjoyed having them here with us and they have come prepared to share the gospel. Pray for them by name over the next month as they help strengthen many of our Baptist churches throughout Botswana and share the gospel.

Time with friends ❤️
Do you have friends you might not get to see often but when you do you are able to pick up right where you left off? Brett and Allison Barnhill are some of those friends to us. We met them not long after we moved to Botswana 13 years when they both were serving as summer missionaries. We have seen them grow in the Lord, get married, have babies, and serve the Lord sacrificial. They work with a company called Reclaimed and help do Orphan and Widow care.
They came and spent a week in Botswana with us with their 2 precious boys, Beau and Hunter. Needless to say, Ellie and the boys were fast friends.
Pray for the Barnhill’s as that are currently in Lesotho serving with 2 of their Care Centers for Orphaned and Vulnerable children.

Baby Room
I have been wanting to set up a baby room at our church for the longest time and with all the new babies it was a much needed thing. Thankfully we were able to work on the baby room during Serve day and it was a success. We had our first babies come to the room the following Sunday morning. Never to early to start investing in our kids and helping them grow in the Lord
