Just yesterday Faye and I submitted our applications to have our work permits renewed. As always this time of the year brings with it a measure of unrest and uncertainty. Aside from the firm belief that this is where God has called us to serve, we are also concerned about Larnelle's schooling. Next year will be her final year in primary school and she will start high school in 2009. We feel that moving her in this final year of Primary Schooling would have a significant negative effect on her. Larnell has settled down very well since moving to Namibia in 2006. She has made good friends, has learned Afrikaans and generally adapted to life in Okahandja. We are so proud of the fact that she has been made a prefect at school for the remainder of this year and for all of next year.
Our work in Christ's Hope is not done and when I ponder on all that must still be done I am overwhelmed and realise that this work will fail if I attempt it in my own strength. The prophet Zechariah says :-
Zech 4:6
6 Then he answered and said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts. (NAS)
Please uphold us in prayer that our permits will be renewed, that we will remain in His perfect peace as we wait for the decision by the Ministry of Home Affairs. We value your prayers would love to hear from you.
Joshua has a slight cold at the moment and it is quite painful to hear him coughing. In spite of this he remains cheerful and contented.. This is the face we are so blessed to see daily.. 
To all who partner with us prayerfully and financially we again express our deep appreciation. THANK YOU !
