Dear Family and Friends,
Our time in South Africa is running to an end. By the end of next week, we will be leaving for Zambia!!
I (Liezl) have a degenerative eye disease (keratoconus) and will see an eye specialist today. I will probably receive eye surgery on Thursday. Please pray with us that all will go well and that the doctor will be an instrument in God's hands.
Our car is (still) in "pieces". Arthur will work on it this week to get it fixed. Please pray that he will have God's favor, wisdom and understanding, and that God will provide the rest of the finances we need for the parts.
As we work on developing funds for this year, we are overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of God's children! We've met so many FANTASTIC people who are sold out to God and His work. We just had to walk out in obedience and "do it"! God is faithful to complete His part! We have raised almost 13% of our target. We ask that you will pray with us that God will continue to provide in ALL our needs!
Once again, thank you for your love, encouragement, support and prayers. We could not do this without you!
"Until the whole world hears!"'
Arthur and Liezl |

Praise God with us!! 4 of the 5 vitamin containers made it safely to the base!! Now we have the huge task of distributing nearly a 100 tons of vitamins!
Pray for Anna: The surgery went well and she is recovering. Please pray that there will be no infection and that the recovery will be speedy in Jesus Name. She is in a tremendous amount of pain yet still shows so much of strenght in her smile.
Pray for our pre-schools: Last week's teacher training went really well, I got the opportunity to speak with many of the teachers individually, there has been a few robberies and murders and the suspects are going into the villages. About 4 of our schools are not having any attendance because the parents are scared to send their children to school. Please pray that the thieves will be caught and then the villagers will not be in fear but look to God for protection.
Pray for health and safety for all of our LIFE staff and their families
This week is Child Awareness week and we are helping to Mukuni Rural Health Clinic with transport to the villages to vaccinate the children, please pray for safety and wisdom. |
