THE VAUGHNS

Summer Break!

We have had such an incredible break, resting and reconnecting with friends and family!

Opportunities to Share

One of the most encouraging parts of this journey is getting to visit many churches and seeing the body of Christ at work in sending, going and making disciples wherever we are! Thank you Overland Park Community Church and First Baptist of North Kansas City for having us!

Linguistics!

Classes started back up on July 29th! We are excited to get back into a routine and schedule.

Toward the end of September, we will move to Kansas City to do a practicum. During the practicum, we meet with a language helper- a native from another country, and go through the process of learning their mother tongue / heart language.

Praise the Lord that we were able to find a Papua New Guinea native living in Kansas City! Last week, we were able to meet up with Simon and get to know him a little!
