February Prayer Letter

Dear Friends and Family–

It has been a little over two months since I arrived in Durban, and it has been a most-exciting experience.  The Lord is drawing me to Himself and revealing more of how He is working in the hearts of His children here.  So many things have happened in the past two months and I will be filling you in on those things as I grow in my discipline of updating my blog–haha.  Attached you will find a copy of my February Prayer Letter/Ministry Update in PDF format.  If you just click the link at the end of this post, you should be able to access it.  I will be posting pictures in the days to come as I figure out how to better utilize this site.  As a brief update, there are a lot of exciting things happening and if you would pray for them I would be very grateful.  The first of those is today!  I am getting ready to leave for Pretoria (about a 5 1/2 hr drive) to go to the Campus Crusade National Student Conference–UBUNTU.  ”Ubuntu” is a Xhosa and Zulu word meaning “compassion.”  We are praying that the students from SA, Mozambique, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe that come to the conference will experience God’s compassion and that they will grow in their love for Him.  We will be in Pretoria through next Monday (March 21).  Next Tuesday–Thursday, we will be working with the “Crossroads” ministry of Campus Crusade here in South Africa.  Over the course of those three days, we will work with grade 9 and 10 students in one of the local highschools to teach them about the value of making smart choices especially concerning abstinence and HIV/AIDS prevention.  Consequently, the name of the program that we will be leading is “Smart Choices.”  Please be praying for both of these events over the next week as the power of the Holy Spirit can truly change lives.  Thank you for your prayers and support!  I hope to hear from you soon!
