Back after a loong drive with Krüger boys picture

Dear friends,
how are you doing?
Thank you for all your prayers!
We've managed the long journey- though David is not quite a safari man yet...it gets a bit boring after several hours :-)

It was good to be in Johannesburg, do all the shopping and taste a life without daily power and water cuts again.
We had good fellowship with our mission folks down there and also Martin down at the mighty man conference with about half a million guys. It was amazing, how great is our God!!!
Border crossing was OK going down but coming back they made as wait 3.5 hours since we refused to pay some "extra" money on the side...
We praise God that the car made it. When we arrived back the starter motor died on our drive way (inside the gate) -thank you Lord that is was not somewhere on the way!!
Martin had to preach at the pensioners chaple straight after coming back (20min) which was cut short by the non starting starter motor...obviously the Lord's will...!
Do pray for us settling in again, in the last two days we had 3 power and two water cuts already...things here are still not very stable. Do pray for strength.
David ate some flowers in the garden today and we had to take him to hospital for observation for an hour just in case. The flowers didn't agree with him too much and he (thankfully) decided to part with them again...Also his monster molars are breaking through...
Other wise he's a very happy chappy :-)
God bless you with Psalm 99,
your 3 waldvogels

Orphanage, Church, men's fellowship & conference

Dear friends,
how are you?
We trust you had a good Easter celebration! Christ has conquered death – Hallelujah!!!
It's time for an update again!!!
Thank you for your continuing support in prayer & kind!!!
We've been busy finishing off the term. The Mission week in Peterhouse school was amazing with lots of kids committing & recommitting to our Lord Jesus Christ
Term came to a busy end, I was able to continue teaching the life of Jesus , featuring the raising of Jairus' daughter and many other miracles of Jesus.



Attached 5 of the great children from our orphanage who we've taken to the dam several times, what a privilege!!

 Our little house church that meets at Springvale school is very encouraging, we've also started a men's fellowship group and are going though the book "wild at heart".
Today we're leaving to South-Africa. Shopping, meeting our missions folks & the mighty men conference is on the program. On the way back we'll drive 300k's through Krüger National Park.
Please pray for protection there are about 2000 Lions there for instance...pray also that the trip and the conference will be a blessed time, where God leads us.
With Psalm 37 V 4-5
your Martin & Silke + David
