Prayer Update

  Back in Joburg after an AMAZING, much needed time away. Family camp was great, and Brad had some good meetings regarding our upcoming mission trips. We were able to visit a couple of churches, some missionaries our SA home church supports (the Fouries), and Brad & Brandon were even able to go to senior youth!
Coming back to Joburg was a bit of a shock, as before we left winter was quite mild, but the cold weather arrived while we were away! It was below freezing at night on the weekend, and with no central heat, we found ourselves bundled up in layers and under blankets with hot water bottles. There are many here who don't have the luxuries we do, living in tin shacks, and I can't imagine how they manage. I am so grateful for the home God has blessed us with.

Team in Durban

There is a team of 12 from WOL, headed up by John Page, leaving tomorrow on a mission trip to Durban to help Shawn Duma with a youth leadership camp. Please keep them in your prayers as they travel.
Also, coming up on the 22nd, Brad & I will accompany a team of approximately 30 to Durban for another mission trip. On this trip we will be helping with Holiday Bible Clubs (VBS), training up teens in the local area on Biblical principles, and involved in other ministry opportunities, such as evangelism. Brandon, Marissa & Mya will be staying at our home with some friends of ours, Michael & Colleta. Please keep us in your prayers, both as we prepare, as we minister to those on the team, and as we minister to the youth in Durban!
