God is moving in South Africa

We're just now beginning to settle in to a more normal schedule here in Paarl again. We're coming off of an awesome week in Simon's Town for our annual CC Africa Conference, followed by a week with our new friends Dave and Vicky Emmerson (who Lord willing will be moving here to serve with us) and a three day visit from Pastor Rob Dingman from CC Twickenham (U.K).

The CC Paarl Valley Team

The Lord has been both widening and deepening the church here in Paarl over the last couple of months. It's so exciting to see His hand moving in our community. We ask you all to keep us in prayer as there are many discouragments and hardships as well that we're experinecing...."Who is suffecient for these things?" The Lord is faithfull.

It doesnt' look like we'll be going home for a visit this year but we would ask you all to please pray for God's provision in that area or if you feel led to give finacially towards that...that would be great too. Going home is a critical part of the missionary's ministry and it's also good for some of our family members who have not seen us in 2 years. We're trusting the Lord for His provison and His timing too on that.

Misty and Michael and I are doing good, We're all healthy PTL and as a family we're really drawing closer to Jesus as we have become more and more aware that it is Him who is our provider and our reward. When the ministry is all about Him it is such a joy to "spend and be spent" for His work and His people where ever we are in the world.

We've added some pictures to share with you...

We had a great turnout for this years conference!


It's so great to see people from all over the world coming together to worship our King Jesus.


Karen (CCCapetown) and Anson (CCPaarl Valley) lead worship.


Our conference speakers this year...Rob Dingman, Scott Cunningham, Phil Pechonis, Brian Brodersen, Dave Guzik and demitri Nikiforos.

It was a blessing getting to know two of my favorite bible teachers (David guzik and Brian Brodersen)

Pastor Rob Dingman shares with two teenagers after church last week...he also gave a great message to the fellowship on Biblical meditation from Psalm 1.


We also had a great time getting to share a meal together and getting to know one another at our church picnic.


Thanks for your prayers and support.

Blessings,
Mike & Misty
