Mutende
The reality of being back in the United States after 6 months in Zambia has finally sunk in. Just this week-end I realized that I no longer was waiting for a knock on my back room door at House of Moses with news—some good, some not—and living with the constant challenges of being in a land where resources are scarce. I admit, the constant strain of death and abandoned children took a toll, and for the first time in many months I feel relaxed.
Here in America there is a different tension. The realization that God has blessed the ministry so much with the new Helen DeVos middle school being built and a larger new property for the House of Martha leaves me in awe of the goodness and provision of God. I am humbled, and I admit very excited by the honor to serve Him and steward those things He has provided through His people.
Looking ahead now means taking just one step at a time. I am always wanting to run, but have found I have just enough light to take the next step. Please pray that the burden of caring for so many children and families in the rescue homes and schools does not become mine—but rather that He sustain and care for what He Himself has established.
I'll be in the USA till April, when I will return for another 5 months, where this year we already have 63 short term visitors signed up and ready to come to see what God is doing in Zambia. We will celebrate our 10th year Anniversary in June, and so there will be many wonderful events planned and WOW, is it really 10 years???
Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
In service to the Master, Jesus,
