A Day in the Life of a Believer, what would that look like?
February 25, 2007
Hey ya’ll,
I’ve been caught up in life and work here in Niger. We just got email from the past two months as well, so I apologize if I haven’t written lately. I still am thankful that you are there as pr*yer support and moral support. Everyday I’m reminded to draw close to the L*rd in order to be close to you all, as distant as we may be. I know He’s working all things to the good and I can’t wait to see what He will do next in my life and in yours. Here’s some news and pr*yer requests to lift up to Him:
-Tara’s mom’s surgery and recovery for ovarian cancer: Tara’s mom Carol has had a rough few weeks; she had surgery a week ago but is now resting at home. We truly praising Him for His intervention, for His love and healing. She is clear of cancer at the moment, please continue lifting her up
-We are steadily progressing in our stories and getting them from Fulfulde to English in order to be Biblically sound. We will have sent 10 stories to our consultant within the next week, and we’ll be continuing to refine the stories she sends back to us. Praise Him for His goodness, for helping us focus when need be and for the times of rest that we’ve truly enjoyed
-Sweet time of fellowship and rest with Toby, Bradley, Danielle and all M’s of Niamey this past 2 days. Thank you L*rd
-Tara and I will be heading home for 1-2 weeks in April. We hope to send in 14 stories to our consultant by that time. Please pr*y for our crafter Bouba and back translator Miriam, for patience on all parts, for the leadership of the H*ly Spirit through the stories and for integrity in the crafting process
-Fulani Believers Conference March 15-17: Fulani from across Niger will come together to fellowship, worship and learn from His word. Pr*y for accepter/believers of Konni and surrounding villages to feel the desire and need to go, that we too will go with faith in the H*ly Spirit and joy in the body of Chr*st, and for the Fulani leaders who are seeking to serve the Lord and their people at this time
Well, there’s always more, but the Lord is good, He’ll take care of the rest. Please earnestly seek His will in all these things.
In His Name,
Seng

Fulfulde Praise!
Min getti Alla gam fuu ko o hokki min nder yonki amin fuu!
Dear family and friends,
This past month, Tara and I have been hard at work crafting 6 stories with Bouba, a Fulani man who lives in Konni!!! If you have been receiving updates from OneStory, great! If not, and you would like to know exactly what and how I am doing, please contact me by email at vansen@bethel.edu. I will be checking email Feb. 22-24, then sometime in April again. I thank Our Father for all your thoughts and pr*yers. There is always more I can share, but I lift it all up in pr*yer and I know He is faithful and is taking care of us all. I'll leave you with a few thoughts and praises:
-everynight Tara and I pr*y together and plan the next day(we rarely plan beyond that). We're blessed to be able to do everything we do and get the help and support we need. Praise Him for all He is and all He's doing with us and through us
-w*rshipped with believers Karim and Chief this past Sunday & with volunteers who told the story of Cain and Abel. It was pure JOY and we are all pr*yin hard for them
-yes! 6 stories in 1 month! by His grace and mercy, we are learning and growing a lot as a team and with our crafter, who's a strong Musl*m. Please remember Bouba
-I'm goin home(St. Paul)in April for 10 days: besides a rollercoaster of emotions, this trip will be very important in understanding His plans for me in the future
-lifting up my older sister Cheng and my father Houa: health and spritual needs
-next couple of weeks: we will be working on a prophecy story and beginning J*sus stories (birth, baptism and 12 disciples). Please keep all of this in your thoughts
-please remember Tara and my health and protection daily
Much love always,
Seng
