BACK IN SOUTH AFRICA

We are back in SA and loving the weather. I don't know if it is because we came from a hot climate but we are freezing and loving every minute. This country truly has an amazing climate. The first few days were spent enjoying SA and drinking in the beauty around us. I didn't realise how much we missed it. However, after a few days we started missing Asia again. It was the most unbelievable experience for us as a family.


















We hit the ground running. First off we attended the Passage to Purpose Missions Course which was two week nights and two full weekends with a free weekend in between. It was a welcome distraction from the reverse culture shock and so good to challenge mindsets and re-inforce new paradigms. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and gained so much new insight. It was good to stay at the Kingdom Encounters Base on both of these weekends. These were the people that attended the course with us.
















After that we spent a couple of days on a dairy farm in Bronkhorstspruit with Arno and Louise, friends from our Missions Fellowship. This was really wonderful to spend time with such a precious family. The children loved farm life. We all voted it the coldest weekend since we have been alive.

Right now we are busy planning the next stage of our journey. We are praying about whether God wants us to stay here and travel to Asia for about 4 months of each year or whether he wants us to live in Asia and travel from there. If we stay here a certain amount of our time will be taken up with our "Asia calling" but we will also need something else and this is what we are seeking God about. We are praying like there is no strategy and strategizing like there is no prayer right now. Oh, yes, and serving, serving and serving. All the things we have learnt over the past few years are now becoming a reality in our lives. So watch this space.......
