Hello all!

A little update for you guys:
For those of you that haven’t heard, we officially have a house in Ghana! Our good friends and founders of Eight Oaks (Teddy and Ellie) are currently in Ghana preparing the way for us-they were able to find two homes which are both in need of some renovation. One of the homes belongs to friends of theirs, and will be more temporary while the other home is renovated (we will eventually use this home for teams that come to help out). We don’t have pictures of either house yet, but we’ll post them as soon as we get them! :)  This is a huge blessing-pray that renovation will go quickly so that we can make the home ready for the girls!!

Teddy and Ellie have had very positive things to say about the town of Akatsi (where both homes are located) they feel very welcomed by the local people-which is wonderful-we hope to build some meaningful relationships during our time there!

As for Landon and I, we are packed (amazingly), ready to go, and spending our remaining two weeks at the beautiful New Jersey beach!! We are loving the chance to have some quality family time and relaxation! We are so grateful to have this time before things get a little more hectic.

Thankyou all for keeping us in your prayers, we’ll update again once we have a little more news for you! :) (Probably not until we arrive in Ghana-our flight leaves September 3rd from Philly)

Love,
Landon and Kate

One month until we leave! Kate and I just wanted to take moment to recognize God's faithfulness in providing the things we need in order to go to Ghana. God has used many different people in many different ways to help us overcome many different obstacles. A special thanks to the congregation at Riverwalk Church of Christ for their generous monthly support!
Thank you to everyone who has helped us in making this possible!
Please pray for our friends, Teddy and Ellie, as they leave for Ghana this week.
We will be posting updates here upon arrival in Ghana in September.

P.S. The new address for mail being sent to Eight Oaks is P.O. Box 8366 Wichita, KS, 67208.
