Entering the promised land

Joshua commanded the leaders of the tribes saying...
"Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, 'Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess.'"

Misty and I are very excited this week as we have finally entered "the land" (Paarl). Thank you all so much for praying that we would find a place to live. The Lord has blessed us with a 3 bedroom townhouse right near the center of town. Misty, and I are already sensing as though we're walking into a prepared work. We wake up everyday and pray that the Lord would lead us and introduce us to whoever He wants us to meet and He has been so faithful to do that. We have met several people here in Paarl who have expressed interest in attending the church once it gets going. We are praying and keeping our eyes open for a venue to open up, so please pray about that.

We thank you all so much for praying for us and supporting us financially as well. We would ask you to continue to pray about how the Lord would use you and your resources to further this work here in Paarl. We moved into our new home last week and we need furniture and many household items, Your support would be very appreciated. Of course above all else please pray for the lost here in Paarl and for the servants here serving Him faithfully.

We will post pictures soon....We love you all so much and would encourage you all to pray into a short term trip here in S.A. sometime.

Serving Him in South Africa,
Mike, Misty, and Michael
