The Latest

Our newest addition to the Biek family has arrived! Evelynn Hope made a her entrance in a rather exciting way. She arrived early Friday morning on October 28th at 12:10 am. (Only ten minutes past her due date.) She was seven pounds eleven ounces, twenty inches long, and was almost born in our mini van. And there is no exaggerating there. We left our house around 11:30 Thursday night, and by midnight, we pulled into the nearest hospital because little Evelynn could not wait to be born in the one we had planned on! All ended well, and the Lord even provided a nurse who delivered babies in Africa for ten years while she was a missionary there. There was no doctor in labor and delivery when we arrived, so it was a blessing to have experienced hands to assist in a very quick delivery.

Here's the whole gang!


And here's the newest little lady... Miss Evelnn Hope!


Evelynn means "life". Her names together are "life" and "hope". That is exactly what we have found in Jesus Christ. My prayer is that her life would be a testimony of just that; of the life and hope that Jesus has to offer the world around her.

While the business of bringing a new baby into the world surrounds us, we are still faced with the task of raising support, which sometimes seems like an endless black hole. It is easy to forget the call, and get lost in the work of getting to the call... and getting very discouraged along the way. Support raising has not gone as quickly as we had hoped, but God has done some awesome things to help us to remember that He has this; that He is in control. Please pray for us on this journey. Pray that we would not grow weary in doing good. Pray that we would weed out the unnecessary activities that suck up time that may take away from the calling that God has placed on our lives. We need your prayers!

We are looking forward to serving full time with Life Action Ministries!
