April Training Block

April Training Block was amazing. We went to Stellenbosch, which is in the mountains – it was gorgeous! The teaching was amazing. I think my favorite was Adam Whitlock, who is from England. He brought a team with him and they spoke on the prophetic. They taught about it and had some ministry time. Another gentleman, Nigel, spoke about cross-cultural ministry. This was excellent, as well. I learned so much about South African culture and some of the history here, and learned a lot about building relationships with people of different cultures.

I am back at my home here and it’s nice getting resettled and doing laundry! ☺ Duncan is currently making spaghetti for lunch and we are all going to be eating together soon.

We have a big conference this coming weekend at Jubilee – it’s called Together on a Mission. Terry Virgo is the main speaker and he arrived last Thursday. I haven’t seen him yet, but I look forward to talking with him and hearing him talk at the upcoming conference. Steve is actually interviewing Terry and Wendy this evening at church, so I am looking forward to that, as well.

I have a couple of prayer updates and requests:

Robert. My Uncle Robert has been diagnosed with bone cancer and it is terminal. Please pray for him – first that God will wholly reveal Himself to Robert and second that God would heal him. I am looking into options of coming home for a couple of weeks – to see my uncle in California and to spend a few days at home in Missouri. Please pray that, if this is God’s will, He will provide the funds for me to do this.

Hannah. One of the girls here, from England, has been quite sick and there was a lump found near her heart. I went to the doctor with you the week before training block and this is when it was found. We prayed for her and are trusting that God has removed it. We are going to the doctor tomorrow to have it checked out. If it is there, she will have to have surgery in the next couple of weeks. Her mom is coming out on the 25th of April, as she was planning to visit, so she will be here soon.

Packages. Thank you all so much for praying for the two packages that had not yet arrived. One of them came on Friday!!! Yeah! Because Destiny and I put a value on the package, they want to charge us $250 before we can get it. I don’t exactly understand why, but they said we could write a letter to customs and explain that these are our personal items and ask them to waive the fee. Please pray that the fee is waived!! We should find out this week.

God bless! Thank you for your amazing support and prayers! Love you guys!
