News alert!

Posted byTessa AndrewsPosted inUncategorized

I have a little bit of news to share with you. Two things, unrelated, but both important.

Firstly, I am moving houses! I am very excited about this opportunity. It is something that I have been praying for for years. The move will lead me to a smaller home where it will just be Otis and I. I will have a guest room for visitors. This move comes with many pros for both Oti and I. I am really looking forward to a place that truly feels like my own. Because the house I was living in came furnished I am purchasing appliances and having furniture made. One of the RMI staff members is helping me out with this. He is so talented! This yard is currently enclosed but the fence is not in good shape. I would like to upgrade this fence for safety and privacy. It will also be good for Otis to have a yard to run in. I am not yet sure of the price of this fence but know that it will be a significant investment. If you would like to give towards this project, please let me know.

On another note, I am working on planning my furlough to head back to the states. It is hard for me to leave home but I look forward to visiting friends and family in the states when possible. Two months can seem like a very long amount of time or a short amount of time. I want to do my best to see everyone but it may not be possible. If you would like to get together, please let me know. I will be stateside for the months of June and July. Below are the dates I have scheduled this summer. There are more dates to come! If you don’t see your church and would like to, contact me and we will see if we can plan something.

Where can you find me this summer?

  • Sunday, June 5th Fellowship @ 8:30am and 11am
  • Sunday, June 12th First Baptist Church of Pinetta @ 11am
  • Sunday, June 19th Cherry Lake First Baptist @ 11am
  • Sunday, June 26th 1st Baptist of St. Pete
  • Sunday, July 3rd Concord @ 11am
  • Sunday, July 10th Lee UMC @ 9:30am, Hickory Grove @ 11am

  1. Oh, Tessa!How wonderful – new digs! The adventure abounds!  We have our flights booked and are praying for God’s guidance, protection and connections.  We leave Denver on the 16th to facilitate getting to P-Au-P on time the 17th for a flight to Les Cayes. It is a bit of a bummer to not stay in Dagout like last time, but excited to see how my perspective changes with the different experiences there.   Annnddd, our youngest son, Joel, just got engaged!!! He and Nekiah (Kiah) decided to not have a long engagement, honor God and get married…. July 2! Wheeee!  Whirlwind summer.  God has answered our prayer for Joel in an amazing way and far surpassed what I could have hoped.  God is so GOOD. Will miss seeing you, but I will be praying for a meaningful and productive furlough this summer.   Deb

  2. Count us in! Any plans yet for July 6th? I’d love to spend some time with you maybe that day/afternoon. We will be having a worship night at church that evening also, if you wanted to join us. 🙂

  3. Hey Tessa! It’s Ashley from Antioch Baptist Church (we came to Haiti a few weeks ago). Are any of those churches near Gainesville? I would love to see you again! Our church has Sunday and Wednesday services if you are ever in the area!
