Latest Happenings at MBC

The Gruddas are back in Senegal after their summer trip to the United States and are grateful for a rewarding time of refreshment and connections.

Lucas and Bekah minister to missionary and expatriate families throughout West Africa by helping to provide quality education for the children of these families at Dakar Academy in Senegal. In addition to teaching physical education, mentoring, and coaching various sports, the Gruddas also open their home to students and build relationships with the local Senegalese through meaningful conversations, shared meals, games, and devotions. With four young children in the mix (Olivia, Caleb, Micah, and Macie), Lucas and Bekah always appreciate prayers for wisdom, good health, and energy as they balance parenting and ministry.

As they gear up for a new school year, these were some specific prayer requests:
– Pray for health stability. Since returning, the whole family has been sick off and on. Bekah is also trying new things to address her fibromyalgia.
– Pray that the school year would start well for all students, including Olivia, Caleb, and (for the first time) Micah.
– Pray that more students and teachers would commit to Dakar Academy as the school continues to adjust for the nearly two thousand families who have left over the past year.

Most of all, pray for changed hearts to know Jesus more.
