Missions Focus: The Depke Family

THE DEPKE FAMILY

Tyler, Brittany, Danielle, and Joanna live in West Africa among French-speaking people groups with an organization called ILAD, which stands for International Literacy and Development. Brittany is trained in English translation work and Tyler’s work is farm-training for a fruit tree nursery that also serves as a demonstration farm for the village the Depkes live in.

 

Over the next several months, the Depke family is traveling stateside visiting church partners, family, and attending work-related conferences.

 

Give major thanks with us that the families who attended FamCon contributed a special mission offering to the Depke’s on-farm house project of over $520! This translates to over 350 bricks for the building!

 

Please pray specifically that the Depkes would:

 

  • Make a vital connection with a full-time kid helper to join them when they return to West Africa in the Fall.
  • Find a starlink internet provider in their village which would make work a lot more convenient.
  • Make OT summary progress even while in the US.
  • See God’s provision of every remaining brick needed for building their new family home on the farm.
