In preparing the Bible lessons, Francois was teaching our helpers this week from John 3… This includes verse 16: “for God so loved the world…”. Wow, imagine the impact of these words to a people who have never heard that God loves them!! Thank you for your prayers for the Mwinika! Please continue to pray that they will understand, be convicted, and believe. Pray for Francois who has been working flat out for more than 6 months: pray for energy, good time management, effective ministry time.
The Literacy classes and material development are still moving forward, although some students have trouble in keeping their attendance faithful…
The kids are doing well. Heidi has been bitten by a scorpion this week and the boys found a cobra on our veranda this morning, but otherwise they are doing great! They are working on the idea of living in SA for a while. We have lots of talks about the coming up home assignment . Lord willing, we will leave in July for South Africa and will return by 16 April 2012.
I (Nadia) am not doing well health wise, but have recently been encouraged by verses a good friend send me: “But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus – the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.” Acts 20:24. I am very aware of the privilege to be used by my Lord, despite so many things counting against our being here (bad health but one thing). I know that we are exactly where we should be and that I am doing what I should do for this season in my life. Pray for strength and wisdom in knowing how to divide our time… Thank Father for His many blessings! I thank Him for you all…
