Today, December 1st, begins a month full of transition for our family! We’ve already had four “Goodbye” Sundays with churches that we work with and have two more to go! The tears are flowing as we say our “See you later’s” to so many of our dear friends. We count it a great honor and privilege that the Lord blessed us with the opportunity to walk with such precious saints these past years. We know that just as the Lord will continue to bless and work through us, He will continue their faith journey to the glory of His name!
Please join us in prayer on these days asking the Lord to bless our transition this month:
Dec. 7 is our “Goodbye” Sunday with the Sedome cluster.
Dec. 10 we pack our container to ship to Rwanda.
Dec. 11 – 12 we will take a load of appliances to Kara, northern Togo.
Dec. 14th we have our very last “Goodbye” Sunday in Tabligbo. Everyone is invited and we are planning a great celebration feast to thank the Lord for all that He has done these past years.
Dec. 15th we travel to Ghana for some R&R.
Dec. 27th we fly to Kigali, Rwanda.
Dec. 28th we arrive in Rwanda to begin a new life and ministry there!

Murphy and Christine,
We are thinking of you daily and praying for you. I can easily imagine the waves of emotion that you feel in these last few days. I know they will be full. I pray that love and gratitude from the people you have served will be deeply absorbed into your heart…wish we could be there to witness it all. We love your family so much.
Murphy and Christine,
I met both of you last December at the Richland Hills church, and I have been amazed ever since then at how both of you have committed yourselves and your children to a life of service. You encourage me with your courage and boldness and unwavering committment to God’s plan for you. You challenge me to mature and grow in my walk and in my service to our Lord. I pray for all of you but especially your 2 boys as they transition to a new country, home, school, friends, etc. I pray that God will surround all of you with His love and protection as you move to the next phase of your lives.
Murphy and Christine,
We love you all and are praying for you! We are so thankful for the work that God has done through you in West Africa. We grieve with you as you say your good-byes, but we eagerly anticipate what God will do in and through you in Rwanda. Richest blessing on you during this trasition. May God give you strength and peace.
You are in my prayers as you wrap up, say your goodbyes and make this huge transition. May God’s hand continue to be upon you firmly! We are humbled to be able to partner with you!
Murphy, this note on your blog makes everything so real…you know we are thinking of you daily, praying for you daily for this transition to be a positive one so you can move right on into another one of your “lifes” … god is listening…Love, Mom
I woke up this morning wondering if Dec 1 was the moving day. Thank you for the itinerary. We will be with you all month long!
Oh, for the $$ to get on a plane and spend the next few weeks with you.
We praise God for you and for what he’s done through you. It’s hard right now to think of a better example of his faithfulness.
We love you guys!
