The enemy attacks in the craziest ways
Mid May - Mid June 2022
Why we need to renew our Moroccan travel visas
It's only good for 90 days.
When we arrive in Morocco, we receive an entry stamp. It takes the place of a travel visa and we don't have to pay for it. But we need to leave the country for a day or more to renew it.
We found $5 round trip tickets to Rome, Italy. Really.
A homeschool lesson about the Colosseum in real life.
2 days later the glass door shattered while Dirk was taking a shower
Thousands of tiny glass shards were stuck to his body.
We immediately started to pray. We sent out messages to the team and to you. Thank you for your prayers.
We don't see a demon around every corner. But there were curious things happening..
We found a bone and a small rams horn placed on the entry wall to our home. Another child on the team was taken to the hospital for stitches to mend a deep wound.
The enemy is active here. Not always in overt or obvious ways. Most of the time it is what friends have described as a demonic lullaby. We stay vigilant with daily prayer and intercession.
We used strips of tape to remove the shards. It was a painstaking couple hours and very uncomfortable for Dirk.
He was a champ.
Lifestyle shoots for the business began in our homes...with help
There was a professional photographer here to give us pointers.
Our business space used to be his photography studio. In fact we purchased some of his equipment. His family are moving to another country for this work.
Mandie and the girls were beginning to see their vision come to life.
The Marrakech buying trip started with fraud, but built on a friendship
We arrived at the location of there Airbnb and nothing was there.
We brought the families with this time. There was supposed to be a place large enough for all of us to stay. Buying didn't start till the morning.
Thankfully, we were able to find a hotel around the same price for us all.
The next morning buying began.
The ladies went into the market. Zack and I stayed back to entertain the children. They came back with beautifully curated items for MENA Goods Co.
But a story came with it all.
There was a rug seller we will call Mo.
This was the second time dealing with him. He is becoming fond of our team. We could say it is the beginning of a friendship.
Will you please pray for Mo and that our communication with him will be fruitful for the kingdom?
Till tomorrow,
Ryan & Mandie Buesgens
P.S. Thank you for praying.
We know you don't have physical or language access to the unreached in Morocco. That's why we've been called to work here. To be hands and feet.
So little of monthly missions giving goes to work among the unreached.
Please partner with us financially to continue our work:

Because of you, one more people group will have access to the Gospel.
Even a single dollar makes a difference...
