Revelation 21:5 "Behold, I have made all things new..."
We have prayfully entered into a massive season of change. Pretty much the only thing that will remain the same is that we will still be living on the African continent.
We have a NEW country = Zambia
a NEW city = Livingstone
a NEW mission organization = Overland Missions
a NEW job = Dan will be training missionaries to take the Gospel to the least reach and neglected people groups of the world through a 3 month course.
NEW teammates and friends
NEW church
NEW currency
...you get the idea.
We are tremendously excited for what the Lord has ahead for us, but there is a sense of loss as we transition from our life in South Africa to embrace the unknowns ahead of us.
Please pray for our family! Janell, Miesha and Titus have airline tickets to fly up to Livingstone on the 18th of July. We hope Dan will be able to join us around that same time. (He will be driving our trailer up)
We have had our fair share of drama trying to aquire shipping containers to move our things. Please pray with us for a quick resolution to this problem!
Our orientation class with Overland begins the first of September, so we'll have a little bit of time to acclimate to our new surroundings.
My prayers are with you as you continue in your journey and especially during this transition. Thank you for serving our God so faithfully and making an eternal difference in people's lives! May God bless your family in many amazing ways.
