Back in South Africa! Already it feels like home. It‘s funny the things which quickly become “normal”, like a baboon trying to crawl through my window the first morning here, or a band of homeless men live within sight-and earshot-by the side of the road who can be heard conversing quite boisterously at all hours of the day and evening. Home currently consists of a single room about 4 by 5 meters in which fits two beds, a large cupboard, a mini fridge and microwave, and a small table and chairs. Good to be back!
One huge blessing is my roomy. Tersia and I lived all of CPx together last year and she became a sister and dear friend, so when we both made the decision to commit to All Nations it seemed only natural to continue the journey together. We picked up where we left off as though no time had passed- laughing, crying, swearing and praying together, sharing and pouring into each other’s hearts.
I am terribly excited to be here! Already the LORD has been so faithful, in confirming this move and providing for my needs. This week was At Home Week with All Nations, taking the mornings to worship, pray, and catch up on what is taking place in everyone’s lives and ministries. I have been connecting with Bethany and Allison as well-my Baby Safe “boss” and fellow team member- hearing what has transpired and the work about to begin. My heart is so stirred by what is taking place! This is intense battleground and we are at war with the enemy every day, but the fruit is incredible. I cannot wait to see what the LORD has in store. Please keep us in your prayers as we start up this new year.
I hope to have more information soon concerning my work with Baby Safe, and a sister ministry called Vulnerable Children (more on that later). My orientation begins in earnest next week. In the mean time, it would be a blessing if you could lift these items up in prayer. I am about to begin the hunt for a car. Pray for favor in the overall process, in finding the right vehicle, and the funds. Also, Tersia and I do not have a permanent place of residence. We are renting from All Nations until next month when CPx begins, house-sitting for friends through February, and after that we do not know! Please pray for direction and favor in finding a safe, inexpensive, and hopefully permanent place to share. Praying and believing! Matthew6:25-33
