We have booked our tickets to Cape Town!
No, we are not yet fully funded, but we
made the decision to move forward anyway for several reasons.
·
We believe the Lord has
challenged us to do this trusting Him as the one who has called us to this
work. It was as if the Lord was saying, “Stop praying about it and just do it.”
So we did…
·
Many folks have told us they
would sign up and we trust that they will…they just have not yet. Others have
promise to increase their current support as well.
·
The country of South Africa is
becoming increasingly unstable and we feel we need to be there and do what the
Lord has called us to do…to teach teachers the reconciling message of the
Gospel.
·
Louise’s mum is becoming
increasingly frail and we believe now is the time for Louise to spend as much
quality time with the Queen as possible.
·
SAMS-USA has considered our
request and given us their blessing even though they will certify us for a
shorter period until our full support comes in.
We still have quite a few stops to make
before we leave the US on April 10 and believe that we are yet to make many new
friends along the way. Our children and grandchildren will also need to see us
before we leave…it will be tough saying goodbye, but we know that there will be
many more opportunities to visit in the future.
If you have not yet signed up to support
us, may we ask you all to prayerfully consider doing so as soon as possible,
please?

We trust that you
will all continue to pray with and for us as we enter into this new phase of
our lives. Please do let us know how we can pray for y’all as well. Keep
sending those newsy emails…they are a source of great encouragement as they
serve to remind us of our worldwide connections!
Thank you all for
your love.
Blessings.
Johann and Louise
