Praise reports

We have so much to be thankful for - every day

We've had so many wonderful things happen to confirm this journey and ministry to and in South Africa.  We're going to keep them here so we'll always remember!  There are praise reports in the mix as well!

Thankfulness and gratefulness are keys to living joyfully in our faith, despite difficult times.  Even when things are hard, there is always something to be thankful for.  When things are going well, we have even more reason to rejoice.  Here are some articles Laurie-Ann has written on thankfulness and gratitude.
What are you thankful for?

That we can trust God with the financial provision 
Holy Spirit guidance, angelic protection

More to come!

My friend Wei Wei Chan had an impression of us being protected under God's 'wing' like a dove.
​I asked her to draw what she saw.
