Hello all our faithful prayer supporters,
It has been a while since I’ve written to you. I have thought a lot about all of you on our trip and was very thankful for your prayers
Testimony / answer to prayer
Safe Trip
We had a wonderful trip. God’s protection and provision was amazing! He provided every step of the way. We drove 5000km with no flat tires and were blown away with the hospitality and openness of those who we visited.
We were also able to share and encourage congregations in Vredendal & Pretoria. We praise Jesus for new relationships and friendships. We trust that through them the Kingdom of God will be advanced.
Areas of need in prayer :
Masi
There has been a rise in violent crime in the townships where some of our teams are working in the last few weeks in Cape Town. In one community called Masiphumelele, "Masi" for short, a young man and a young girl were shot and killed two weeks ago. This past weekend a Xhosa toddler went missing. She was found on Monday brutally murdered by presumably foreigner. We are facing a possible xhenophobic outbreak.
We need prayer for the house churches we have started in Masiphumelele with the foreigners, especially people from Malawi and Zimbabwe. Please pray for their safety and for the safety of our team members.
Missionary care/ member care weekend
I am organising a special 3 day event for our missionaries here. The goals are : to spoil them ( we all have a long year behind and are tired), team building, growing closer together, learning about one another cultures as well as focusing on SA cultures, history etc
Please pray for the weekend of 20-23 November as well as for arrangements and finances that are necessary to fall into place.
Nelis and Inesa
Please pray for wisdom for Nelis and for creative ways to rest and get refreshed in our off time
Inesa: I have be been feeling very overwhelmed by everything that needs to happen in our lives. Please pray fro the Lord to give me strength, clear mind and ability to handle areas that need to be handled.
Please also pray for our financial needs. We are on 52% of our monthly budget at a moment and are trusting the Lord for next year’s school materials (R6000).
Thank you for your faithfulness and serving our family through prayer.
Love
Inesa
