Quoi!? Only 4 wks left!

That's right you read it here. The Wegners only have four weeks left in Canada and only 3 weeks left of class time. We are already starting to plan our packing for the move.

We feel like we've learned a lot and yet we also feel like we've just scratched the tip of the iceberg. I've been meeting with a retired gentleman to practice my french medical questions a little more and I can see the holes that need to be plugged. I'm plugging.

I thought I would give a time line of what we will be doing in June and July for you so you can better pray for us and also know what we are doing.

June 8-12 my parents are coming up and we hope to send some stuff back with them so we do not have to haul as much back at the end of June

June 14th we are speaking at a C&MA church in Burlington VT.

June 19,22,23 we are taking our final tests. The last one is an attempt to give a standardized measure to our french proficiency.

June 24th depart for the US

June 29-July 3 at camp nathanael

July 6th (aprox) leave for NC to drop off containers to be shipped to the Republic of Congo

I will stop there because it becomes less sure after that. The July 6th date is pretty big because we have an opportunity to send some stuff to NC and we are in the process of playing a rousing game of "keep, send, store or toss" with all of our stuff from our car to tea kettle. We are waiting on final approval for how much room we can have on the container as well.

Thank God with us that our 10mo of language study is almost done and that our family is overall doing well.

Pray for safety, wisdom, patience with each other, good timing, and more support.

Thanks again for praying.

Just Asking


I really don't want to write this post. I don't like talking about money and I definitely don't like asking for it, but in this post I am asking.

Our family over the past two months has received just under 2k for our support, but we only have 1230 in promised support. To top all of that we are coming to realize more and more that our number of monthly support will be closer to 5k/mo than 4k/mo. Therefore we need your help, and I think God likes this because I think He likes when the body really works together.

Anna and I want to humbly ask each of you to prayerfully consider giving to us to help us serve in the Republic of Congo. You know why we are going: because God is leading us there to do our part to fulfill the Great Commission. You know where we are going: Impfondo, Republic of Congo. You know what we will be doing there: We will be using our lives to open doors for the gospel. We know the implications of our asking. We know the economy is not doing so hot right now, we know that some or all of you may be financially stretched. We also know that God is a big God. Believe me, if we did not have to ask we would not.

To give follow these directions:

If you are giving by check then make the check out to C&MA and put Wegner/IFAP in the memo section and mail it to C&MA PO Box 35000 Colorado Springs, CO 80935-3500.

You can also set up an automatic withdrawal by sending a signed and dated letter expressing this wish with a voided check to the same address. The accounts will be debited on the 25th of each month

Other options are at the bottom of our blog site.


Pray that God will raise up financial senders for us, ask God if you are one of those and consider giving to us. If you decide to do so send us an email at swegn001@gmail.com to let us know. This helps us keep in touch with you and helps us know where we are financially.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. Keep praying.
