A Quick Update

We spent the past 10 days with Vera de Klerk, who co-founded and directs our ministry, along with her husband Basil. During her stay we were able to assist Vera with many administrative duties that have piled up due to Basil's medical evacuation last November.

This was our first time meeting Vera in person, and we enjoyed the opportunity to talk with her face-to-face. Though we enjoy talking with her and Basil over Skype, nothing compares to a face-to-face chat.

We are gearing up for hosting two teams back to back, the first arriving tomorrow. This will be a team of 14 who will be painting two houses and facilitating a VBS in the village.

The second team, which arrives the same day the first departs, is a group of 25, predominantly consisting of high school students. They will focus efforts on construction of a concrete foundation for Pastor Kenny's house, will do some clean up of a lot in the village that is being transformed into a park for children, and will assist is filling the many holes that now dot our driveway.

We look forward to a very busy two weeks as we work along side these teams!
