Today at noon, the Wolfpack will take on the Tarheels in football. Very few people in the country care about this game, but two out of three in this home do.
Please pray for the other member of this family.

FAQ
Why Missions?
When Jesus cleansed the temple in John 2, it was because it angered Him to see a place where worship should be taking place filled with everything but worship. We see the entire world as a place where God should be worshipped. From the beginning, God's desire was for all nations to glorify Him (Gen 12:3, Deut 4:5-8). So, if God is to be worshipped in all nations, we should be disturbed when He is not. This should motivate us to lay down our lives in the same manner that Christ did for the purpose of seeing God glorified in all nations.
Where is Senegal?
Senegal is located on the Western coast of Africa. (see map above)
Why Senegal?
Missionaries entered Senegal in the 1960's and worked for several decades while seeing little fruit. In the last 15-20 years, Muslims have begun to come to Christ and catch a vision for reaching other Muslims. We have a chance to equip these Senegalese believers with teaching in God's Word to go along with their already present evangelistic zeal.
What will you be doing there?
Our main ministry focus will be training church leaders. There is a small Bible College located in Dakar and Thies which seeks to train leaders for the church. Wayne will be teaching classes at this school. Hilary will be involved in teaching weekend seminars for women who seek to serve alongside their husbands.
As a family, we will also be helping with a street kids ministry, showing love and attention to kids who have been taken advantage of.
Where are you now?
We began language school in Paris, January 09. We plan on being here for 18 months. Immediately following our language school program, we will move to Senegal.
How long will you be in Senegal?
Our plan now is to move to Senegal with no plans of going anywhere else. This is a long-term move for us. We will return to the states periodically on Home Assignments (our first after 4 years overseas), and we will at those times evaluate if the Lord would have us continue in Senegal or if we could best serve somewhere else.
How can I get involved?
3 John 8 mentions those who have not gone out but are still called co-laborers because of their support for those who did go out. We recognize the need for co-laborers in our desire to reach Senegal. You can become one of our co-laborers by committing to pray for us, financially supporting us, and keeping us in your hearts. If you are interested in financially supporting us (monthly of one time gifts), see the Financial status section just below on this side of the page for more details. If you are interested in committing to prayer (either daily or weekly), please contact us. As far as keeping us in your hearts, keep checking back to our blog and leaving comments, sign up for our email updates, and keep us posted with changes in your lives.

It's a beautiful day!
Aw man! She would be so cute if she didn't have that ugly hat and shirt on:) Just kidding, she would be so cute if that ugly dude wasn't holding her.
Okay, in order to redeem the Keith Family name, we would like to say for the record that Addie is our Favorite Denny:)!!! We love you Addie girl!
Is this really an appropriate post for the Africa blog????
(She's so cute) :)
Angie, this is definitely an appropriate post. It shows that we're not so focused on our ministry with others that we've forgotten ministry in our own home.
Nice...I can understand that since training Jason to be a Cubs fan is a 24 hour "ministry"!!!
