Brad is off to a training meeting with the youth leaders from Grace Baptist Northdene. Pray for him to teach with clarity and for them to have the strength and excitement to start off the new year strong discipling their youth! Also pray that the car starts when Brad is finished as we had to jump start the car before he left.

Prayer Update

Traditionally in South Africa the Christmas Season is holiday. Schools and businesses shut down, as well as youth groups, etc. It is our Summer Vacation. We arrived in Durban just a couple weeks before holiday season, and have been visiting churches, spent a week at camp, had 9 guests staying in our home, and are already back to homeschooling to catch up from the move!

Now, as schools and businesses return to normal next week, Brad has found himself thrown into ministry, which is welcomed! We are excited about the new aspects of ministry that lie ahead of us! Brad is meeting with 3 pastors tomorrow alone, and has training meetings lined up for the rest of the month. He will also start teaching Marriage and Family to the students at Durban Bible College starting next week.

Here we go!

We had a great time at Sunbury Christian Camp! It was an amazing week, with many decisions for Christ. Thanks for praying!

 Here is a picture of the kitchen we worked in:

I will try to add more pictures when I get them!  

Thoroughly enjoyed worshipping at Crossroads Community Church this morning! Brad was able to preach. We had a great time of fellowship with them. 

We leave for camp at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Please pray for us as we strive to serve others and build relationships! We are looking forward to it and will give you an update when we get back. Have a great week!

Amazing Race - Word of Life Kids Camp

With over 95 at kids camp, we have heard that it was a blast! Games, good food, fellowship, and especially - time spent in God's Word.
Please pray for those children that made decisions for Christ to be faithful!

Pray also for the camp staff as teen camp starts tomorrow afternoon!

Support Update

If you remember from our last prayer letter, we asked you to join us in praying about our support, as we are currently bringing in 78% of our needed support. We have set goals to raise the rest of our support in $500 increments. We would like to see the first $500 raised by Dec 31.

We have seen some gifts from new givers since that time (thank you!) but do not know if those will be one time gifts or ongoing support. Please continue to pray with us as we try to reach this goal!

If you feel that God is leading you to give financially you can follow this link for more information, and indicate in the comments section if this is a one-time gift or monthly support

Mary, for the fam

Brad, Mary, Brandon, Marissa & Mya
