The Bakers have officially been back in
Lesotho for about two weeks now. We are really enjoying our new home, and since
the LXP Lesotho base is still under construction, we are able to host our
weekly staff meetings here. Speaking of the LXP Lesotho base, the roof is going
up right this minute!

| Band Outreach |
Two weeks ago as a family, we traveled down
to Margate (a beautiful coastal suburb of Durban, South Africa) for a band
outreach with the Barn “Engulfed” Band. This is Piet’s second year attending
the outreach in Margate. As a team, we went into three high schools, two
churches, and a rehabilitation center to bless the students and congregations
with the gift of music and worship. The band also had the opportunity to give
two separate worship training seminars at both the church fraternal as well as
the rehab center. Piet felt very refreshed at the end of the week as he was a

When we
returned from Durban, we jumped right back into our daily routine here in LXP
Lesotho. This past week was especially eventful.

| Ministering in one of the schools |
for ministry in the village and in the
schools. They specialize in “drimes” (dramas put to music) and were able to
perform their drimes in three schools, at our

schools, there were opportunities for students to give their hearts and lives
to the Lord. Many made this commitment. They are truly a wonderful and loving
family and we were very blessed by their presence here in Lesotho!
We were privileged to be part of an LXP
Lesotho first last week: the first annual women’s retreat. Elizabeth had the
dream several years ago to host a retreat for the women of the community to
love, encourage, and empower them as women. Many women stay at home with the
children and take care of the home while their husbands, fathers, brothers, etc
are at work. They work very hard and are sometimes forgotten about. They rarely

As I mentioned before, I (Leah) am staying
home with Harmony and am loving every minute of it! I am privileged to pop in
for ministry happenings every now and again as well as attend the weekly staff
meeting. In the coming month or so, I will be starting to train the pre-school teachers at the community pre-school in how to do lesson planning and how to make the most
out of their time with the kids.
Thank you for your prayers, love, and
support.
Truly Loving Africa
