Postcards
from the field
A new journeyman
on the field ...
It is with great joy that
I say hello to you all
the way from Lesotho,
Southern Africa! I arrived
less than a week ago and
my time here has been
nothing but amazing and
incredible. Thank you
so much for all of the
love and kindness you
all have shown to me and
my family during this
time.
Because YOU prayed:
-
Both of my long flights
were peaceful and I
was able to sleep somewhat
well.
-
All of my luggage arrived
and I had no problems
with South Africa or
Lesotho customs and
immigration.
-
I am settled in my apartment
with my precious roommate,
Glenna.
-
I am doing better at
driving a stick shift
and adjusting to the
LEFT side of the road.
-
I am adjusting to the
culture and environment
of Lesotho as each day
passes.
Things to be praying
for:
-
The Basotho people--that
they will come to know
Jesus as their personal
Savior.
-
My physical health (I
have caught a mild cold
and am adjusting to
a high-altitude).
-
The Lesotho Baptist
Women's Retreat this
weekend (Friday through
Sunday).
-
I will be living with
a national family next
Monday through Thursday
to learn language and
culture.
-
The Basotho team
- That
my walk with the Lord
will remain the utmost
priority in my life,
and that the WORK of
the Lord will not come
before my WALK with
the Lord.
For more information on
the Basotho people, visit
www.basotho.org.
Thank you again for all
of your prayers. Remember,
if you stop praying, I
might as well pack my
bags and head back to
America. So, please, I
beg you, intercede for
me, the Basotho team,
and the Basotho people
as you feel the Holy Spirit
leading you to do so.
To God be ALL the glory
for the great things HE
has done and will continue
to do among the nation
of Lesotho!!!!
