Hey everyone! We are Beka and Jon, and we are in our 5th year in North Africa. Jon has a full-time teaching position here, an opportunity that affords us good standing and immigration in the country. This is a huge blessing and has opened the door to many relationships and friendships. Beka is a counselor and has a private practice here, meeting with locals and expats alike. This was a great avenue to building relationships, but she has taken a step back to focus on our family. She is now working very part-time in order to be home with the kids, start homeschooling and foster relationships with our neighbors and women with kids the same age as ours. It has been a fruitful transition for her and our family. We have three kids: Soren (5), Ruby (2), and Cosette (1). They are active in our community here and have opened so many doors for building relationships with people of our community. We are excited for the opportunities God has laid before us and we are thankful to have our City Reformed family behind us.
Prayer Requests
- Continued relationships with students, coworkers, and neighbors. We have been
able to meet and become friends with so many great people. Pray that they would
continue to deepen and bring glory and honor to the Father.
- Schooling for the kids. Soren has been in homeschooling and is progressing well.
We continue to evaluate the best options for him and ask for prayer in discerning the
best routes forward, whether that be in continuing, curriculum choices, or sending
him to a school.
- To move hearts of individuals here, to open more doors and opportunities to share to
good news and that ultimately many will come to trust in Him as their Savior.
