Life seems to be settling down into our normal routine again. While still busy, it's nothing like it has been for the last couple of months!
Spring arrived on Saturday with a bang! It seemed more like summer. A week & a half ago we were heading off to church bundled in sweaters and tights and scarfs and now we're wearing shorts & t-shirts! What a contrast! As I type it's a beautiful 26 C (79 degrees F). We were very ready for spring!
Everyone is busy preparing for upcoming events! Brad & I and the family will be heading off to Pietermaritzburg on the 14th for meetings with Scottsville Baptist Church on both the 14th and the 15th. This is about 6 hours away. Please pray for safety as we travel, and for productive meetings. This church is using both our Olympian program and the Teen program in their church. We are then heading about another hour or so to the coast to have a few days off with a missionary family from Alaska, serving in South Africa with TEAM.
While we are in meetings in Pietermaritzburg, there will be a Sports Marathon here in Joburg. This event uses sports (Rugby & Netball) as a medium to reach unsaved teens with the gospel. Please pray for preparation for this event, that it will run smoothly, but, most of all, please pray that many unsaved youth will attend and make a decision to follow Christ.
Starting September 24th, we will be running another week of Holiday Bible Club. As this will be a different church, we will be using the same program, Back to the Beginning. Please pray for the planning of this event, as well as stamina for all involved.
Thank you, again, for your support and prayers for the Lord's ministry here in South Africa!
Mary, for the fam
