prayer letter Dec 16, 2008

Dear Friends,

With the approach of the festive season, writing Christmas cards,buying turkey and baking numerous cookies with the children,I usually go into reflective mood. I like to reflect on the year and to see what the Lord has done.
It is exciting to see All Nations getting established,house churches emerge, long term missionaries finding their feet in the new country, workers being trained.
My heart overflows with gratitude to Jesus who made it happen as well as to you, our
prayer supporters who are covering us in your prayers.

We are grateful to the Lord for:

Testimony/ answer to prayer
This past year our team has invested their lives in the Red Hill community. I was there last week and was amazed to see beautiful gardens flourishing between «cosy shacks» that were rebuilt after the fire in February. The Lord is growing house churches in Red Hill and we are excited.
It is wonderful to see people come to know Jesus and be baptised, poor and needy get training, find jobs, provide for their families. Our team has been living out Jesus and touching lives.


Please pray:
For rest for both of us – we trusting that our 2 week break will be sufficient to rebuild strength and to relax.
I ( Inesa) will be focusing on home schooling my children next year. And though I will be involved in some ministry, home schooling and supporting Nelis would be my primary responsibility. Please pray for me in this exciting, new and a little daunting season.
School Materials and supplies for the next year are still on our payer list. Because of the US dollar rate going up we are now trusting for R8000 to cover this expense. Please be in prayer with us about it.
Wisdom on how to go forward with our raising support we are still trusting the Lord for the 32% of our essential monthly budget.


All Nations is in the process of buying its fist home. It will be a base for training workers to go into the unreached and poorest places to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Please be in prayer with us for the funds for the property. We have seen wonderful provisions and are trusting for more to come!

Thank you for serving us through Prayer & Friendship! We experience daily how your prayer makes a difference!

Love,
Inesa
