We have been super busy with family and ministry! Let me share a few highlights....
Just last week Brad visited the Junior Youth (Grades 1-6) at our church (Grace Baptist Church, Ruimsig) and had the opportunity to lead 3 young boys to the Lord!!!!! What an exciting opportunity anytime, but especially at our South African home church. :)
Thursday evening we had the privilege of attending a dinner at Sandton Bible Church for missionaries and pastors, and we were encouraged and challenged by Brent Meyers. He challenged us to be training up others to take our place! We were also very encouraged by the fellowship with friends! It was a refreshing time and a blessing.
In homeschool we are studying South African history. It has been a challenge as my friend and I are writing our own curriculum based on an awesome book, All About South Africa. While it has been a great study, it can take a lot of time. Please pray that I use my time wisely as a mom, teacher and homemaker.
Monday night I am starting a Bible Study on Daniel with some dear friends and am looking forward to the time of fellowship, encouragement and sharpening.
On the home front, the children are growing fast! Mya has moved out of the crib and into the bottom bunk Marissa's bunk bed this week. It has been a smooth transition so far! Brandon & Marissa have been practicing, along with a drama group of around 50 other children, to present The King and I in October. Today they will be performing one of the scenes at a drama day. Excitement reigns in the house this morning as they look forward to their first performance with these friends. :)
Thank you for your prayers for our ministry!
Mary, for the fam
Brad, Mary, Brandon, Marissa & Mya
