An Update from the Larson Family
September 2014
Dear Family
& Friends,
There is change
in the air! With all five beautiful
children back in public school this year, it has been an adjustment for
everyone! But what a wonderful summer! An RV Vacation in Ohio to the Creation
Museum, Lake Erie, and Cedar Point; a week on the beach in Bethany, DE; and for
Juliana and her lucky daddy a week in a canoe in Algonquin Provincial Park in
Ontario with Grandpa, uncles and all the North American family teenagers. Wow. The
tight schedule of the school bus, homework and after school activities has
everyone dancing to a new beat. Alysia
has taken it all in stride, providing support, encouragement, and homework help
to everyone.
As many of you
know. Our family has had the blessing of traveling each year to serve and teach
at either the Baptist Medical Center in Ghana or Kapsowar Hospital in
Kenya. On November 14 we will be
returning to Kapsowar! We are VERY
excited to be returning to this wonderful place where we lived and served for
two years and hope to be a support and encouragement to the long-term missionaries,
staff, and friends in the surrounding community. This short-term mission opportunity for our
family is combined with the chance to teach medical students and residents from
Pittsburgh the important lessons of Global Health in partnership with the
Institute for International Medicine.
This year three medical residents from Pittsburgh will join us in
Kapsowar. Two have traveled with our family on previous trips. As we have shared previously, the opportunity
to live intentional Christian lives of service in front of these students is
one of the core motivations for our participation. If you would like to see videos from our
previous trips they can be found at https://vimeo.com/89784566 and we will be maintaining our travel
blog at http://larsonstepsoffaith.blogspot.com/.
We are deeply honored
and grateful for your faithful support and encouragement of our annual
short-term service through international medical education. Would you consider joining our trip again this
year by partnering with us in prayer and/or a financial gift? Our home church is again receiving donations
on our behalf and checks may be mailed to:
Hampton Bible Chapel PO Box 1405
Gibsonia, PA 15044. Please include a note designating your gift
for the support of the Larson’s short-term mission.
Gratefully,
Paul & Alysia
Juliana, Chara, Stephen, Daniel and Jacob
