Time in South-Africa, Start of term

Dear friends,
 
How are you doing?
Thank you so much for praying for God's guidance regarding our future!!!
On Thursday we've returned from a week in Johannesburg.
There we had a very good meeting with our SIM AreaDirector. It was a positive and heart warming time.
The Lord has worked quite a different attitude in me (more humble for a start) amongst other things and as a result of this and God's leading, SIM does not see a reason, why we could not stay longer in Zimbabwe.
We praise God for this good news!!! Please continue to pray for wisdom for our German Mission DMG, that God will lead them according to His will.
It was great & encouraging to  stay with lovely friends and seeing quite a few of our brothers & sisters from Edenvale Babtist Church.
 
We've been back three days and have been very bussy visiting several church folks and Martin did a baby dedication today, as well as having Joshua dedicated too .
Please pray for strenght, as the boys are keeping us bussy. The week in Johannesburg was hektic and the school term starts again this tuesday.
Please continue to pray for Scripture Union, as they are going through major challenges at the moment in Zim. They had to lay off all their staff & sell many buildings as finances are crippeling.
Thankfully it does not affect my lessons and I also heard from a Christian Primary School yesterday, that I will probably start teaching there this term.
Thanks for your support.
With much blessings & Jer 29':11 ( the doubly confirmed dedication verse from today ),
your Martin & Silke + boys
