The Time has come to an End

The last 2 weeks have been spent with our families for Christmas and New Year’s and we have had a wonderful time with everyone. Now our time has come to an end and it is sad to say its time to go. We have met new friends, enjoyed seeing old ones on New Year’s Eve, and look forward to what God has in store for 2009. We are actually leaving today and want to say thanks to everyone who made this trip such a success. We couldn’t have made it without the support of friends and family. We were blessed to stay with friends in their beautiful home with great hospitality. We were blessed with a car to use for the entire month from a couple we had never met. What a witness and inspiration they are! We were blessed with gift cards from various places, Cracker Barrel for one; you can’t get that kind of cooking in South Africa! We were blessed with our team/church that surrounds us to have great fellowship and plans for the future and we were blessed to meet some people from a small church in Alabama that may consider supporting us this year. The list goes on and on! We have especially enjoyed being at our home church for a month. The candlelight service on Christmas Eve touches my heart every time. Just knowing that Jesus is alive and living within us gives me great peace and joy in my heart!! We will miss everyone and be looking forward to next December, but we know that God is in control and will take care of all things. Much love to all and we ask that you pray for our safety as we travel back to Cape Town.
