Big Move - Hard Work - Fun

-Howdi everyone

The past week was just amazing. We started up a local small shop at the UJV home,where we sell local products and fruits. I am working close with the accounted (Harriet) to start the shop. The Lord is amazing. He provided a farmer for us to provide produce for the shop and the home for a really good price. I feel that the shop is a tool that the Lord is using to equip the children to learn more about business and to serve people. Through that they build more self confidence and have school in there and loads of fun. Praise the Lord we received a fridge/freezer for the shop as well. Now the sells are going to increase. A good cold soda….hmmmm,sorry we not there yet to sell cappuccino or a Late or a ice coffee, or even a milkshake……

Also a big answer to prayer is that the team leaders of this ministry got a bigger house to move in, to enjoy more space with there 4 children (and me and other short term volunteers) and to start with more expansion of the ministry. I believe it is a spiritual breakthrough for more expansion in the ministry. More growth and more of His provision. So the actual moving date is next week Sunday. (BIG MOVE,HARD WORK,FUN)

Then it is amazing to work along with Harriet doing the accounting on a new computer program. Very challenging for me ,but amazing to see the wisdom of God working. And amazing to learn from Harriet as well, spiritually. We encourage each other about spiritual and physical treasures. He teach me so much.

Then social wise did all the mzunko (white) woman of the team went out for a girly night to Thai resturant. What an experience…..so much fun and so much food. So good for the team building. Such fun woman here.

Then we went out to a local school to hand out a christian magazine with foundation teachings about life skills. It is a big school (3000 kids) of the government schools. The church struggled to get into the school to preach the gospel,but found this tool to start to get in. We handed out 3000 magazines and praying now for the fruit of His word.

Also a beginning of a relationship between the school and the church.Amen. Then the Lord is busy challenging me about have faith in His word and to know how we now we are continually abiding in His truth and His word.

Ooo and the kids received there Christmas shoe boxes. It was quit exciting for me to see there happiness when opening it. (I know X mas is long gone,but still it was a feast. To encourage each of you who sent of a box at Christmas time. It was cool to see the end of the chane.

The Lord is busy speaking with me in Ps139. Awesome psalm. May you just know that He has his eye on you from the day of your conserving until know and forever and He knows all of you and want to be interested in everything and wants to show you more of His Kingdom…..The Creator of all.

Until next week love you all.



May the joy of the Lord be with you
