Wobbly wheel

April 26, 2012

The rest of the 3rd day’s travel back home was less comfortable and very tiring. The road quickly deteriorated from then onwards. Those of you who know, will agree that one of the worst kinds of roads to travel on (especially with a trailer) is a paved (tar) road that got “holy”! Just as we […]

Accident 3 hours from home

April 26, 2012

It was our 5th day on the road (the first was only from 17h30 to 23h00) and we were very ready to get home and unpack! The worst part of the trip was ahead – road wise – since soon after Quelimane we hit a very damaged gravel road. Three hours from home the steering […]

What’s next for the rest of April

April 26, 2012

[cid:image001.jpg@01CD2313.84A2E070] Finally, on Monday 16 April, we arrived at our home after spending the night at the Henderson’s house (thanks guys!!!). Elin continued to provide meals for us during the first days, as we and our friends from Parys tried to make a home of boxes and spider webs in our house again. The Hendersons […]

Border crossing

April 26, 2012

We crossed the border into Mozambique sometime around 20h00 the Tuesday evening. We were fully packed… Two vehicles and a trailer that included groceries galore (compliments of the Parys and Clubview believers!! Thanks guys!), a dog, AudioBible players and a quad bike… All of above and more could have caused us much hassle and tax […]

Work permit miracle

April 26, 2012

We made a detour to the main town of our province to get Nadia’s yearly work permit renewed (that expires the end of April). Normally the process takes at least 2 days, but because of the delay that morning (trying to fix the car) we were not able to be there early morning and by […]

Broken tie rod end

April 26, 2012

We are home!! It took us 5 days to finally get here, but praise the Lord we made it! We were not able to leave South Africa on the Monday we planned, as Francois found a very frazzled tie-rod end over the Easter weekend. We had to wait until shops open again, before we could […]

Francois visiting in Xhosa area

January 31, 2012

Francois left with the Verlaans (NTM South Africa) to visit believers under the Xhosa speaking people group of South Africa. They went to investigate the possibility of these believers getting involved with the translation of the Chronological Bible teaching in this language. We are very exited to see this happen, as the Xhosa language is […]

Pray for our Mwinika friend

Please pray for our Mwinika friends, as they struggle to survived during this time while it is still too wet to rebuild. Rain continues, […]
