Home sick, but not downcast!

Hello once again family and friends!


Unfortunately, I am home sick for the day. My tri-annual cold and flu has come to visit. It is incredibly boring and lonely being home the whole day, but at least I have some time to catch up on blogging!

So, it is with great excitement that I get to tell you that my South African Spouse Permit has finally arrived! I am officially legal in this country. I am so glad that this process is finally over (for the time being) and I can relax for the next two years before doing it again.

With my visa in hand, we are nearly ready to go to Zambia for our team mission trip. We leave 25 June and will return 9 July. We will be working with Love's Door, All Nations in Livingstone, as well as two other partnering ministries: Sambaland and Kwathu Children's Home. We are all very excited! As a team, we have raised just over half of the money and are getting ready to have our vaccinations done this week. It has been an exciting few weeks as we have been practicing dances, dramas, and songs. We will be sleeping in tents in the bush experiencing REAL bush life. In addition to children's ministry and rural community ministry, we have the very special privilege of visiting Victoria Falls for the very first time! We will send more updates as the time gets closer to our leaving.

Let me leave you with a few prayer points:
-My health and the health of our team. Out of 10, 5 people have already gotten sick
-Safety in our travels
-Financial provision
-Making a Kingdom impact
-Growth and closeness of our team both now in our preparations and as we go.


Thanks and God Bless!
