As we step into 2026, I want to begin by saying thank you. Taking the Light has never been a “one-person” mission. It has always been a team effort. Every prayer, every financial gift, and every word of encouragement helps carry the Gospel further than we could ever go alone. We truly are in this together.

Right Now: Burkina Faso

We are currently on the ground in Burkina Faso, and we are excited and grateful for what the Lord has in front of us.

On this trip we are working to:

• Build two new wells in Villages in Burkina Faso — Clean water meets real physical needs, but it also opens doors for ministry and Gospel conversations in these villages.
• Identify new villages where the Gospel has not yet reached.
• Work on transmitter permissions so we can expand the reach of Bible teaching into areas that are still difficult to access.

Please continue to pray for safety as we travel, for open doors as we meet with village leaders, and for clear communication as we share the purpose of the work.

Ongoing: Peru

We also want to share that there is some exciting new progress in the Peru ministry, especially in Chivay. The Lord has been working in ways that are both encouraging and humbling to watch. Doors are opening that only He could open, and we are prayerfully stepping through them as He leads. We will be sharing more specific details in an upcoming update, but we wanted you to rejoice and pray with us even now.

Thank You for Being Part of It

Whether you give, pray, share updates, or have traveled with us—you are part of this mission. The fruit belongs to the Lord, but you share in the labor.

We’ll continue sending updates as 2026 unfolds. We are praying and believing for more open villages, more provision, and more lives changed through the power of the Gospel.

Thank you for standing with us.
