Norbert's Dinner for Us

On our last Sunday in Dakar, George and Diana invited us to lunch. Norbert, who is temporarily living with them, was the cook. He is a great cook, and he had prepared some delicious food.
Here is a picture of Norbert, Sharron holding Jethro, Jan, Ron, Jane, and Diana holding Prisca.



All of us had cameras that day! Here are Jane, Jethro holding his Texas cowboy bear, and Sharron.


George has on his new Texas Rangers baseball cap.

When we had eaten all we could, this much was left over!


Norbert tried to tell us how to make the food. He is showing us some of the spices he used.

Norbert likes his new cap, too!

We really have enjoyed getting to know Norbert. He cannot speak much English, but we can usually understand what he is trying to say. He has completed Arnold's Preachers' Training School (2 years), and he is still waiting on enough funding to go to live in the village that has asked him to come and to preach. Norbert is so talented and so full of energy and enthusiasm!

He is a great worship leader. He is always carrying around and playing with the little children.

Norbert needs only $300 per month to live in the village, and he has $200 committed so far. His wife is in Gambia with her family, but she will join him when he goes to the village. There is such a great need in Senegal for money to pay preachers, and it takes such little money for each one! Please contact us if you know of anyone who would be interested in helping such a worthy effort.
