Fabulous February 2016

God really blessed our family this month. The

Sweetwaters bible study has really grown. God sent us 4

wonderful Christian girls from the UK to intern at

Ethembeni alongside us. Local volunteer participation on

home visits has increased. The people in the communityare receptive and excited about the teaching they are

receiving from God's Word. Doors are opening at the local

community school. We are wanting to spread God's word

there. Elizabeth and Jacob have enjoyed connecting with

long-time friends. Grove Level wants to bless us with

updating our vehicle situation. Our cup is overflowing in

thankfulness and praise to the Lord for all He is doing.

Sweetwaters Connect Group

It has been exciting to watch the

spiritual growth in the young adults

in our Sweetwaters bible study. We

have been studying prayer, the Holy

Spirit, and how to read God's Word

this month. The students have been

bringing their friends with them as

well. This has grown the group

which is thrilling. Now the kids are

asking us about going to Shiya's and

evangelizing too. So great to see

their passion and desire to respond

to the Great Commission.

Shiya's House Group

Every other week, Anne Brews, the interns, Thabile/Spu (our interpreters)

and I go visit these 4 ladies. Today, they heard the bible story on Noah's

Ark. We are working through the Bible to explain salvation and plan to go

over the Resurrection at Easter. After the Bible story & prayer, Anne is

teaching us all to knit. Many of the ladies need your prayers for healing.

Jabulile's daughter cannot walk and needs a miracle. Please pray the folks

at the clinic will get her the help she needs.

Bible Story Time

We are very exciting about the

reading progress of this house

visit group. We have children's

Bibles in Zulu. Each person takes

a turn reading a paragraph as we

move through the Scriptures.

Then we discuss what God has

shown us. Anyone can learn to

read at any age. We will see if

this is also true about knitting-

HA!

The Tear Fund Intern Crew

What a blessing these four girls have been to us and the community.

Lindsay, Kirsty, Emily, and Leah are the Christian girls God has sent us for

the next 6 months. Pray for them as they learn to share their faith with the

people. Thomas and I desire to see them grow spiritually as they train in

several evangelism techniques. They will lead devotions on house visits

eventually. In the picture, they are teaching the children a Bible song after

homework club. Hand motions are super popular!

Homework Time

Daily from 2-4 pm, the interns work

with the children of Mpophomeni inafter school homework programs.

They do extra reading with children to

improve literacy. They teach English

concepts and assist in Math

homework. They can lead a devotion

at the end of the session too. It is a

great opportunity to mentor the

children in the community andinfluence them for God's Kingdom.

Sweet Reunions

Elizabeth had a ball seeing all her old pals at the Keeter wedding or

hanging around Lee. She even caught the wedding bouquet

whenever she wasn't dancing the night away. She is looking forward

to Spring Break but until then she is studying away. She has done well

with her Calculus exams so far. She will hear about her RA application

after Spring Break. She just wants what God wants regarding that

position. Thanks to everyone who has and is praying for her.

Sweet Treats!

Jacob had a solid swimming month. His team

won both its swim meets. He set a meet record

for the free style race at Howick High. His water

polo team won a match at Hilton. He scored a

personal best of 7 goals in the match. His

teachers are pleased with his academic progress

first term. So he passed the 1st parent-teacher

conference-whew! How better to celebrate such

a great month but with food? He can cook it up

nowbut Cinnabon is still his favorite subject

and an old friend!
