Update

Thank you to many who have emailed and responded to the need for prayer over what’s going on in South Africa. I’ve been greatly humbled to know how many of you are actually following the work going on here and are genuinely interested in me! Thank you!

Just to update you: December has gone well. We’ve done lots of deep ministry.

- The church is in a more stable place than it has been recently.

- Living Hope is on break – a much needed one for such a challenging year

- I’m still struggling with 2012 and what God wants me to be focusing on, but I’ve got some time before that has to be decided.

- My physical state and exhaustion is being rested with a 2 week Christmas break. I’ve had time to sit on the beach, read, sleep, and relax.

- Mentally, emotionally, spiritually – I’m doing better but I’m still challenged by the results of November and need some healing. God is teaching me a lot through the challenges of working with broken people and those affected by poverty-mindsets. Ministry will always be hard here, but I’m learning more and more that I’m nothing and God can only use those that are willing to be stripped and molded by Him. Pruning process continues.

- Capricorn – the military along with local police are still patrolling the area. I haven’t seen any big raids lately, but I’m not in the community on a daily basis right now as I am during the work-weeks. I’ve heard of some heavy military movements upon homes, but no backlash, which is a blessing.
