Our Final Words from South Africa


These lasts few weeks have been a great time for reflection and preparation for our move back to the states. We have continued to knock out our bucket list and managed to do all we hoped to do. We have managed to get all but one suitcase back before us, but our home church comes on Thursday and they will bring it back with them. We have prepared our presentation when we get back to the states, and we are saying goodbye to all our friends that we are leaving behind. Words cannot describe the way we feel about leaving this place. We are leaving such wonderful people and a majestic country, but we know our time has come to an end here. God has blessed us beyond what we could ever have imagined and we give Him all the glory for the accomplishments we have made. Thank you for being a part of our Leap of Faith journey and for praying for us. We will be on furlough in Nashville for 3 months while we raise support for our move to Atlanta to work for Extreme Response International. We are again very excited for what the Lord has planned for us next but we are out there in that “deep water” where we are totally dependent on Him. Please pray with us as we prepare for the next phase of our journey. Some specific needs are a loaner car for the time we are in Nashville, to find the right house outside of Atlanta and to find the right cars once we have moved.
