Be encouraged and inspired by her. If you want to read more of her story the book Christian Heros then and now Mary Slessor Forward into Calabar under this link is great .

Hi our friend

We hope you are having a wonderful summer!! Our family is visiting Pennsylvania to see our family, friends and supporters there. After that we are adding a vacation. So for the month of July there wont be weekly updates, but you will still get a weekly video to challenge and encourage you here on the blog!

We also have this prayer request for our time away: Our last season has been really busy and all of us are pretty tired. If you could pray for a time of good rest and refreshment for us during our time away. Thank you so much!!

We hope you have been inspired by Mary Slessor’s story. She didn’t have an easy childhood, but she didn’t let everything that happened in her life hold her back from following God’s plan for her life and seeing how He worked through her. She didn’t remain a victim but an overcomer through Jesus. If you have things in your past that always make you feel like you can only be a victim, I want to encourage you to ask God to bring you healing. Have people you trust pray for you and be encouraged by counseling. Don’t let your past hold you back from the things God has for your life and move forward with Him victoriously!!

Have a blessed week

Markus, Jen and Caleb
