Starting with the youngest to oldest.
Toni is doing her 3rd year of Law at university and has been doing well. She is just bankrupting her parents. I told her she was too expensive. Her reply was "but I'm worth it."
Bronwyn is still in the UK. She has two girls Faith & Shayla and there should be a boy any day now.
Cher is still in Port Shepstone but needs to find another job soon. Where she was working decided to close shop.
Nicky has two children Aiden and Leah. Right now a stay at home mom but I suspect she would like to be working.

Home assignment
We are currently on home assignment. What does that mean? every 4 years we are supposed to go back to our "home/sending" country to do report back and also to raise our support level. But we have been a bit longer in doing that this time, almost 5 years since we last were on home assignment.
We are very blessed that we have been able to get to so many of our supporting Churches and prayer groups so far. We are about half way through and still have a lot of traveling ahead of us. This Friday 6th we head from Pretoria to Bloemfontein and then onto the Cape.
We have been overwhelmed by the reception we have received so far and the number of preaching opportunities we have been given. And not just presentations. In the last 3 weeks we have been to 3 new Churches and have been thrilled to see how missions is a major focus. FANTASTIC!

Going to town
What used to be quite an ordeal has turned into a real driving pleasure. The trip used to take around 6 hours of being jostled, shaken and bumped to get there for our monthly shopping trip. WE HAVE A TAR ROAD! It takes about two and a half to three hours and very scenic. Praise the Lord!
A long over due update
I just can't believe how long ago I got to do an update on this blog. My apologies everyone. I don't have any real excuse to offer. I have just been caught up with so many other things.
On the right of the page you will notice "Joshua" our new Land Cruiser. We named it that because: Jehovah is generous or Jehovah saves. The Lord is faithful. Our old Land Rover had done it's bit and was finished. It has been about 6 months now that we have been driving "Joshua" and we are still pinching ourselves. There have been a number of contributors to enable us to purchase this vehicle. The Lord used very generous folks in Australia and South Africa and the sale of the old car, to make this possible.
Id like to share a prayer with you which I prayed some time back and was brought back to memory a little while ago. In the area we work in, there are 100's of thousands of people who have no witness to the TRUE GOSPLE of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. The very same message Jesus preached in all the villages and towns He went to. So I prayed: I would go and find these people and take the truth to them and plant Churches there. But the old Land Rover was not up to the task as it often broke down. That if the Lord would provide us with a new vehicle, we would go. Anyone like to guess what we will be doing when we get back to Mozambique after our current "home assignment"? Please pray that we would be able to do a work pleasing to the Lord.
