Excited, thankful, overwhelmed, a little nervous…..those were all of the emotions (and more!) that we experienced last Tuesday evening as we purchased five tickets to Senegal. With the push of a button on our laptop our family took one more step closer to Senegal and spreading the Gospel there. And we could not have done that without you! 
Our family is continually amazed at the love, generosity, and faithfulness that we receive from people just like yourself who sacrifice so that the unreached peoples of southern Senegal can have the opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. You are truly part of a team; not just our team, but a team that the Lord Himself is building of those who have a heart for Him and a heart for the world. We are filled with more hope than ever that the dream of “all Senegal for Christ” will one day be a reality!
We plan to leave Quebec around December 21 after the children have finished school and start the long journey back to Florida. We hope to make it back to Florida by Christmas Eve where we will be spending the next month packing, taking care of last minute business, and saying good-bye to family and friends. Then, on Tuesday, January 29, our family will board a plane headed for Senegal and our new life there.
Our family sincerely wants to thank you. Thank you for praying for us. Thank you for giving to the Lord for our ministry. Thank you for your love, encouragement, and sacrifice. And most of all, thank you for your obedience to the Lord Jesus who has called us to this task together as partners in the Gospel.
Just before we pushed the “purchase” button for our tickets we stopped to pray. We thanked the Lord for all that He has done to get us to this point. We asked the Lord for continued strength as the tasks that lie ahead will be difficult. We prayed for the unreached peoples of southern Senegal and the spread of the Gospel there. And as we prayed, we praised the Lord for you. Thank you again for all that you do to bless us and to make it possible for us to serve the Lord Jesus and the peoples of southern Senegal.
With Hope in the Gospel,
The Boyd Family

This is AWESOME news!!! The world has been unbalanced this past year. We need the Boyd family on this side of the Atlantic to balance it. I know it has been a long journey the opposite direction. But we know the Lord has/can/will work all things for good. "A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps." Prov 16:9
