Dear Loved Ones,
Twenty-three years ago this past Friday, we stepped off the plane for the first time in Africa. That first night was something else. We stayed in a house behind a brewery and were scared to death. I remember hearing Steve cry and say, “What have we done?” What we had done was to follow God and He has lead us all the way. There have been many other scary nights and hard times, but the wonderful memories outweigh the bad.
Though we have spent most of our lives away from our families, God has given us a home here in Africa. Steve says our hearts are shaped like the continent now. We thank God for our families who are the real heroes of missions.
God has provided for us all the way. Many of you have been with us since that first year, you have experienced our joys and sorrows and faithfully prayed us through. How we thank God for you. Every soul, every victory, every seed sown is written to your account as well as to ours. We can never say thank you enough. We thank Him for such faithfulness.
We have a big challenge ahead of us this year. God has opened the doors for a new property and that will mean new and more extensive ministry here in Gaborore. We need your prayers for wisdom, and to have the understanding of what is that key to reaching the Batswana for Christ.
God bless,
Steve, Pam, Derek and Devin
