Praying Children

One of the greatest encouragements to me is knowing that people are praying for me and the work here. An even greater encouragement is the two children below who faithfully pray for me every night. What a great thing for children at such a young age have a heart for mission and develop a pattern of prayer.



Mark prays faithfully that God will keep me safe.

Kyla began praying for me before I went to Africa and has continued to pray for me and the children here.

I spent the final part of my trip in Atlanta, Georgia with some dear friends (John and Connie Blackburn and Jack and Barbara Enter) from Providence Church. We had a wonderful weekend together in the mountains and I was given the opportunity to share about the work here in their services. It is a great joy to have this church now partnering with me in the work here.

I came home and was able to enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation with my frien, Sybrand De Swardt, in Cape Town.

One of the favorite parts of my trip was the week I spend in Napa with Tom and Dee Ellison.
We had great conversations, lots of laughs and made some great memories.

I haven't been to Disneyland in years. I had a great day there with the Martson's.

Catching Up

I know I have been a very bad blogger lately and I and I am very sorry about that. Many of you know that I spent about 6 weeks in the states in January and February. It was a wonderful busy trip. I had a great time catching up with many of you and renewing friendships and sharing what God has allowed me to be part of here in South Africa. A big word of thanks to those of you who helped to make my trip so special. You truly refreshed my heart!

I thought I would show you in pictures some of the highlights of my trip. I started with a week at my oldest brother's. I had such a great time with them. Nothing beats spending time with family. It was a little shock to my body to go from summer to winter- especially the night we went tubing in the snow :).

Below I am pictured with some of my all time favorite people, Robert and Eilene Marston. I was so thankful for all the encouraging times I had with them and their family. What a blessing it was to me!

Eilene and Carol are like true sisters to me!
