WE LANDED!

We landed! Welcome to Africa.  We spent the last year, and some change, in France, learning French.  We changed the country of our destination in Africa.  And our family grew by another member now we are a family of 5.  And as the Language learning center in France was the most fertile place in the world we are expecting to be a family of 6 in July.  Ummm yeah, that was unexpected. 

We poured ourselves into French learning and the schedule prevented me from creating the frequent updates that I would prefer.  As a result, I am at a spot again where I would like to hear from you.  What would you like to hear about?  I would love to know who our supporters in prayer and who our audience is.  Please let me know about yourself and let me know what part of our story you are interested to hear about (either in the comments below or on Facebook).  I want to write to you and for you so that you can join us on our journey to reach people with the greatest news ever proclaimed. 

Just by way of quick update we are now a part of a church planting team.  Our goal is leadership development and working with the Christian leaders here to equip them to plant churches for the glory of God.  For us there are still many decisions that need to be made.  Despite some uncertainties, God’s will is still directing our path, and we have landed. 

“So how can we support you?” I heard you ask.  That is a great question.  First is by giving to the Great commission fund of the C&MA.  Every dollar keeps us on the field and sends more workers out.  Second you can give to our vehicle fund.  Now that we are on ground we are raising money to get a vehicle so we can be flexible in where we can live and work (Put “Hahn Family – Vehicle fund” in the memo line of the giving form: "Give to International Workers and Special Projects").  Next and very importantly, please pray for us (see below). Also let us know how we can pray for you.  And finally, if you would like to help us create content for our updates please ask us questions.

We truly have felt your support as we learned French.  I look forward to keeping you even more up to date as we continue forward.  We could not embark on this journey if it wasn’t for all of you who pray and support us.  Thank you for being a part of our story. 

Prayer requests:

Praises:

- French learning is taken root.  We are able to talk with most of the people here.  We are able to survive in city life. 

- The girls are loving Africa.  They think that every woman here is a beautiful princess because they are arrayed in colorful clothing. 

- We have an amazing team of whom we are privileged to meet, get to know, and begin work with. 

- Praise God that we found a house.   We are going to be moving in a week or two. 

Prayer requests:

- Pray for Wolof language learning.  (This is the heart language of many people here.) May God grant continued ability and passion to learn. 

- Pray that we can quickly raise funds for a vehicle so we do not have to cram our growing family of five into the back of a taxi. 

- Pray that we can fully outfit our house. 

- A big prayer request for my dad, David Hahn.  He was diagnosed with a brain tumor and is going to undergo chemo in the coming weeks. 

As always thank you for reading, sharing, and praying.  Please let us know what questions you have for us in the comments, or by following us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/hahnsheadout/).
