Personal Greeting
As I sit under the summer African sky, anticipating rain (that does not come), I know how different my life is here in Namibia. Years ago now, God removed me from a comfortable place to serve him in a country that I did not even know existed. Now I have three young children and two adult children. Only in God’s economy! Life is changing. I am so blessed to know that my three young children and I will be back in the USA by December. My schedule is becoming full and I praise God for the way He opens doors. The greatness of God is here! (wherever here is!!) In Romans 9.17 the Scripture says: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” God’s purpose – that is the bottom line and His purpose for me continues to be on the soil of Namibia. Thank you for your love, prayers and support as my stay in Namibia is dependent on God’s will and your giving! Thank you!
What’s Next
Whew, it seems like we have a LOT ahead of us.
- It has been very difficult for Kassie’s children to adjust without her. She is a special Mom and really loves her children!
Ms. Celeste took the reins from Ms. Lea at the end of September as Lea returns to Germany.- Ms. Jackie arrived and is settling in with her 7 cherubs!
- The Graham family departed and they have quite a plate full as they prepare for all the upcoming needs in Otjiwarongo. May God prepare the way before them.
- We need to find sponsors for Talitha Kumi tuition for 2011 for approximately 30 children ($100US per month).
- Posting an advertisement for teachers for 2011 we are anticipating an influx of applications for jobs. May those who are reviewing and short-listing see the applicants through God’s eyes.
- Work on the school property needs to get underway. We are anticipating a start in October. Read the rest of this entry
