Also please be in prayer as we have decided to open up our home for a weekly bible study. We are still looking for a venue but in the mean time we'll be having church in our home. Please pray that God would bless the study and that He would bring people who need to hear about the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We are excited to be having a team from our home church (Calvary Chapel Tustin) come over in September to serve along side of us and see what God is doing here in South Africa. Please pray for our pastor Barry Stagner and his wife Teri as they will be speaking at the annual Calvary Chapel Africa conference in Simons town, S.A.
We are happy to tell you all that some of our personal belongings that were shipped from California have arrived here safely so its beginning to feel a bit like home. The rest of our things should be here later this month.
We have a pre-conference prayer ralley with the local Calvary Chapels next week please pray for me as I have been asked to speak there. Pray that God would speak through me and that His Son would be lifted up.
It does feel like time is going by quickly and God is doing some really great and exciting things here. Please as you're praying for Paarl and the people here and for our family ...consider joining our support team by committing to pray for us and if possible supporting us financially while we're here....Any amount is great and for any amount of time is great too.
As always all contributions are tax deductible and to sent to us through our sending church.
