~We are Home~Need a New Home~Evangelism in Panda~



We made it home safe and sound from our holiday away in Kruger National Park. We had so much fun together as a family. The girls loved camping and even did the dishes every night for me, they say it was fun because the sink was outside. We camped in a tent 4 nights and enjoyed 1 night in a chalet. The girls didn’t want to sleep in the chalet but soon changed their minds when they saw that it had air conditioning. The weather was very hot but we still enjoyed it. This time of year there are so many baby animals and it was so fun to watch them play. We were so thankful that we could get away when we did. We returned to Maputo well rested and ready to get back into the swing of things.
3 days after we returned we received a letter from our Land Lord that said, we need to move out in 60 days. We will need to find a house right away to get out of here in 60 days.

Please pray for us as we look for a house and need to get settled in the next 5 weeks. We know this is not a shock for the Lord and that He does have something for us. But do pray that we have the peace and Joy we need to have during this time.

We have some exciting news, Nathan and some of the ECC guys will be going up north to the city of Panda for evangelism. They will be training about 165 Pastors. Nate & the guys will be sharing the gospel with them, in which most of them have never heard. They will be training 4 hours each day for 4 days and then using the Jesus film every night. Most of the pastors are from the Zion church, which mixes traditional beliefs with biblical truth. Nate is very excited about this opportunity as these pastors represent about 20,000 people from their congregations. If at least one of them believes and understands, it could mean hundreds of people coming to Christ.

Please pray for us and the guys that will be going, as satan wants to discourage us and make this all fall apart, as he already has started. Please also pray for the time the guys spend up in Panda. Pray for the pastors and their congregations.

Keep praying! We love you!
