The Poidevin Family
John and Krista Poidevin, along with their three children, left Canada for their first term in Tanzania, Africa. Yes, they were excited about using their linguistics training to help bring the truth of God’s Word to those who desperately need it. But they also anticipated facing challenges—studying culture and becoming fluent in Swahili while raising three young children isn’t easy.
What they weren’t expecting was the quick change of plans within two months of arriving. Krista started experiencing blurred vision as they left Canada. When the symptoms got worse, not better, they consulted an eye specialist and then a neurologist. The doctor discovered a brain tumour which needs to be removed.
Please pray for the Poidevin family as they enter into this unexpected season of life.
