God is BIGGER than life...

“Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones, Give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” -- Psalm 29:1-2

These past 6 weeks have been quite intense & filled with so many opportunities to further the kingdom of God. The Lord is adding to His church daily. Lives are being changed, including our own. We are in the midst of something that is so much bigger than we could imagine.

At the beginning of September, our laptop went out of commission & was in the shop until this past Tuesday. It is great that it is now back in business! So much has happened since our Macbook decided to go on Holiday...

A team from our home church, Calvary Chapel Tustin, visited during the 1st two weeks of September. We spent much time in the nearby township of Mbekweni at a number of creches (day care/pre-school). CCT's puppet ministry was a big hit with the kids & we were blessed seeing the smiles of all of the beautiful children.

We also spent a day at the Bowy House -- a facility that serves children, parents and families living below the poverty line who have been impacted by HIV/AIDS. The Bowy House was created to address the physical, spiritual and psychological needs of needy, symptomatic HIV infected children and their families. The team brought along the puppets & the kids loved them! The children lead us in some great "Sunday School" songs that was such an amazing time of worship to our Father in heaven.

The following week we attended the Calvary Chapel Africa Conference. Pastor Barry Stagner (CC Tustin) and his wife, Teri, were both speakers at the conference -- so we had another week to enjoy their fellowship & learn from the awesome teaching that the Lord imparted unto them to share at the conference. Along with the Stagners, Phil Pechonis from Calvary Chapel Woolacombe, Mike Harris from Calvary Chapel Beachside (Huntington Beach), and Greg Opean from Calvary Chapel Redlands were the main speakers for the conference.


The conference was one of the most intimate times that we've had with the Lord -- with continual teaching, worship, and fellowship. God solidified & confirmed His heart for this nation within us during that time. We walked away changed forever & can hardly wait for next year's conference.

The Bible study at the house is really beginning to take off as well. We are already having to pray that the Lord would begin to open up doors to a venue that we could use for the study, as we're starting to out-grow the Portland's living room.

We are also holding weekly bible studies with the kids of 2 farms outside of Paarl. Within the past 2 weeks we have witnessed dozens of kids accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. Just from one week to the next you can see a change in many of the kids. God's mighty hand is upon those farms & we believe that God can and will do great things.

We miss everyone & hope that you are right where God wants you -- doing His will. We thank you for your prayers. They are being answered every day. We also thank you for your financial support. Please continue to seek God as to how you might participate in this ministry, as we daily seek His face & ask Him as to what He would have us do to further His kingdom.

In Christ <><
