Thank you for making it to the end of our first-ever digital newsletter. We hope you enjoyed the journey. 🙂 And thank you for your friendship and love – your prayers and financial support help us to keep serving in this way. Please reach out to us if you have any questions – even if it seems like a trivial curiosity about Niger or Benin or our life as missionaries. We enjoy sharing it all with you, truly.

May God encourage your hearts with his marvelous love.

With love, Andy and Nikki
