Letter from Us to You

Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you for praying for us over these past few months as we have been seeking the Lord for guidance as to where to deliver our fourth child this December. Since finding out about the pregnancy, we’ve kind of been all over the map.

At times, we felt like staying here and at other times, we felt like going home. But instead of basing our decisions off of our emotions, we decided to seek proper medical advice, pray and then let the Lord lead.

All of this being said, we’ve now made a decision concerning where to have the baby. The Lord has given us both peace about the decision and our ACTION leadership has given its approval and support. Certainly not least of all, the decision will make our families very happy :). On November 13th, we will be arriving in Columbia for a 2-3 month visit—to have the baby, catch up with many of you and also share with others about our ministry here in Zambia.

There were many things that led us to this decision, but please know that we wouldn’t have had the clarity we’ve had on this issue without your prayers. Thank you so much for continually lifting us up to the Father.

One of the benefits of us coming home is that we can now, with more clarity, share what God is doing in Zambia and how He seems to be using us in ministry here. If you would like us to come and share with your church, growth group or any other group, please let us know, as we will be putting together a schedule for our time in the States.

Thank you again for standing behind us as we pursue making His glory known here in Zambia. We look forward to being with you over the Holidays!

In Sincere Appreciation,
Brent & Kerri Roberts
