Pondering This Mission….
Over the past year or so, I have questioned the makeup of teams and individuals coming to this particular place in the desert. At first I wondered about the reasons that many who come here are women. I have discovered through travel to other countries and meeting with fellow mission minded people that there is a fair balance of people committed to missions. In our particular circumstance here in Arandis, Namibia, and with Children of Promise Ministry, they are not an agency which actively recruits short term missions. People who come, come to work with the children, and because of that, they are predominately women who do this. I would ask men who are retired, to consider coming to help with the mentoring of these kids from the male perspective

Personal Greeting
Ouma Kitty, Sylvia’s Mom, went home to be with the Lord at the beginning of October. We know that she is whole again and in the arms of the Father. She walked with Sylvia and I from the beginning as we founded HPOMN and she did more than her share of helping with the children placed under our umbrella. Her presence is greatly missed by all. Our prayers are with the Beukes family as they adjust to life without Ouma in their midst. We praise God for His plan for eternal life. Another friend from the community, a local business man, also died in October. No matter how often we speak about life and how precious it is when there is a death we are taken off guard. May God give us a heart that appreciates each moment of today – Today! Read the rest of this entry
