We are really enjoying watching God answer our prayers; from helping women to remodel their brothel into a home and finding new jobs, to breaking up trafficking rings in Scotland, to continuing to open doors for ministry here in Germany.  Thank you for praying with us!  Please pray with us; as this week hosts anti-trafficking day in the EU.  Also, please pray for our new friend who has a very important court date this week with a case against her trafficker that involves her precious children.

Banana Boat Update - July 2019



Wow! The banana boat has been on a whirlwind of adventures lately. In May, the European Baptist Federation’s Anti-trafficking working group met near Amsterdam. We had a wonderful team meeting, visited some ministries, and prayer walked in the red light district.

Then, the European Freedom Network met in Italy. We prayed together with anti-trafficking ministries from all over Europe.
In June, we traveled to Senegal, for the twenty year anniversary of our time together there. We had the awesome opportunity to visit the village church that we helped start 20 years ago as well as another church in a nearby village. We also visited a ministry for at risk children in the capital city. We enjoyed eating an African meal with them, playing games, and speaking about prevention of human trafficking. We prayer walked in areas of human trafficking.
Finally, in July, we traveled to Antwerp, Belgium to serve with a couple of ministries in the red light district and to continue prayer walking. As we celebrated the 4th of July in Antwerp, we continue to pray for the captives to be set free, that they might be free indeed. Isaiah 61:1

Banana Boat Update February 2019


We are enjoying the beautiful snow and our new home in Kindsbach, Germany….

…including continuing to prayer walk in the snow.

Please pray for us on the 13th, as we are hoping to make visits inside the new locations that we have been prayer walking for the past few months.  We will be taking Valentine’s Day gifts and Bible verses about God’s love in 9 different languages.


Thank you for praying for our time in Brussels.  Tiffne really enjoyed speaking at the European Baptist Federation Children’s and Youth Leaders Conference for the Anti-trafficking working group.  We enjoyed worshipping, fellowshipping, and collaborating with people from over 20 European and Middle Eastern countries.


Please pray for Dylan who will be having a small oral surgery on the 27th.
