The first week after we left the property we no longer call our home, God showed me: Here in the open, you might feel vulnerable, but you are also more open to hearing the true condition of your surroundings, needs, and hurts.
As the 6 of us nestled into our caravan like peas in a pod covered by God. God showed me that our ministry is also like peas in a pod. In addition to the Gospel, to be God’s love to the world encompasses bringing healing, teaching, exhortation, service, and praises.
We left our first destination with no idea where to next. Tian said that Jesus will take the wheel. I just prayed. The kids were part of trusting God for our destination. Nanke gave a colour and Ruhan a number by which we will know that we are where God wants us. At precisely 3 pm, we arrived at our new ‘home’ showered with purple leaves. The number and colour the kids were given. Traveling with/for God is super exhilarating and frightening at the same time. God works in mysterious ways, and I stand in awe of His mighty work.
In obedience, we are tools in God’s hands, and we were extremely blessed during our stay @ Hotel Numbi. How lovely to have made some new acquaintances and friends. Our campsite was next to an airstrip. I tried daily to meet up with Wally and Daveen, running their own flying business (at the blessed age of 70+). The kids went flying as a reward for washing the dishes the whole month. I would really recommend anyone visiting the area to pay them a visit for a microlight flight over Hazyview.
To Goodman and Timothy. Continue the good work that God called you for and spreading the truth of Jesus Christ. The work that God has started in you He will finish. Amen (Philippians 1:6).
We are grateful for the fellowship with Mike and Pauline, sharing their wisdom with us about missions. We are looking forward to seeing you on the road shortly.
Oom Eugene and Tannie Engela, for your practical camping advice, late-night coffees, and investing time with Nanke and Ruhan.
During our stay, we were privileged to meet an Israeli tourist. We got the opportunity to share the Gospel with him, but he declined the new testament Bible Tian offered him though. Moshe, we pray that you have a divine encounter with Jesus.
So we are off to our next destination. You can read all about our new adventures in a few weeks…
