It has been two years almost since I started this blog. I started out stating that it was part of us trying to find out what crossroads we stood at. It is interesting now to look back on what developed since then. We did not move anywhere or change anything majorly...
We simply dug our heels in deeper. We decided with the encouragement of a very good friend to take the projects we had been running in and from our local church into non-profit organisations. This has been a challenging journey, but in the last few weeks have again been able to see that this is part of a much bigger picture... although it is not clear yet.
You can check out the work on www.mercyaids.org and the resilient kids website is currently under reconstruction. Both organisations are also on facebook.
Holger and I joined a new missions organisation last year. We got to spend a glorious month in Germany while our kids stayed home safely in the care of our dear friend Barbara with some support people around her. We joined www.globemission.org as missionaries (see us under Africa) as a way to raise personal family support both financially and relationally as this is what we had really missed when we left YWAM 10 years ago. We are pleased to say that this move as a family over to Globe has been very positive for us. We are seen as a family in ministry. The member care we have experienced has been so amazing especially in the last few difficult months. We are also so thankful for the new supporters we have received and the new season we are in.
Holger writes a German newsletter, which can be downloaded off the Globe website, but I have failed to do a good English newsletter for years. I am a committed "facebooker"and if you are on there with me, you know a lot about our lives. However, I have resolved to pick up the family blog again for my non facebook people.
Holger and I are the mission's pastors of our church www.fhcf.org.za, where you can also listen to my recent preach.
Well a short intro into what we are currently up to...
