Hallo, goeie dag! (Hello, good day!)

"I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." -- Phil. 3:14

This past month has been amazing! We have had so many opportunities to serve Christ & see Him work through our lives. I have found that as God works through my life, He is working in my life as well. (Wow, what a novel concept.) The goal in all of this is to do the will of God in planting this church in Paarl & responding to the prompting of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. The prize is not something we tangibly attain, but the prize lies within bringing glory to God.

We have begun to establish relationships with people in the community. It's a funny thing how the Lord places people in your path.
We have begun the bible study (Calvary Chapel Paarl Valley) at the Portland's house. Slowly, but surely we are confident that the study will grow -- not just in numbers, but in lives growing closer to God & His truth.

Please continue to pray for the study -- that God would use us in whatever way necessary to reach the community & spread the gospel.

We are currently living with the Portland family while we get acclimated to the culture & such a new way of life. (Going from Southern California, the absolute land of opportunity & convenience, to South Africa lies many differences that take some time to get used to.)



Please pray that our family will be able to move into our own place & start really setting some roots. We are waiting on the Lord for Him to reveal to us when & where we will be moving. Pray that God provides in ways that we can't imagine. We have already seen God's faithfulness in so many ways, and know that God never fails us.

Another practical prayer request is that God would provide us additional transportation. We are currently blessed with God's provision in having one car for both us and the Portland's to share. Our prayer is that God would provide another vehicle, allowing us to further the ministry & meet practical needs.



We would like to invite and encourage you to join our support team by committing to support us prayerfully and/or financially. Any amount of financial support, large or small, makes such a difference in our lives & the ministry. There are many expenses in living here and our visas don't allow us to work, so your support is needed and so graciously appreciated.

All donations are tax deductible and sent to us through our sending church
