from Africa with love

Dear friends,
 
How are you?
It's well time for an update .
We are glad and praise the Lord, that He is continuing to use us here in Zimbabwe!!
 
Silke & the ladies bible study has had another Widows Tea last Monday. 45 of them came & were blessed. The ladies really made them feel the love of God! Silke shared on "The uniquenes of Jesus" and had many positive responses. We continue to visit the dear ones in the Senior Citizen Settlement & take the chaple service there from time to time.
 
Lessons in the schools are going well! I've found some new material & Silke helps me to make up some lessons of my own. We did a serie on "Wisdom", now on the good shepherd.
The kids from the orphanage are great and they are looking forward to our camp 11-17. of August!
For this, we will have our team from local helpers, 4 volounteers from our German church & one Swiss & one Austrian girl. There'll be 130 Orphans & vunerable children! Please pray for the Holy Spirit to touch and bless everyone on this camp.
 
The swiss girl Katharina will be with us for 9 month, also from August on. She'll stay with friends & come to support us in our ministry & family.
 
Please pray for us during this bussy Augustholiday, that we have the strength to cope well with all the visitors & the camp, kids and oneanother.
 
The other "Childrens work" with David & Joshua still keeps us on our toes...
and we are very proud that Germany won the soccer Worlcup !!!
 
Please also continue to pray for our country! The economical situation is worse than 2008 and more buisnesses than ever have to close down. Pray for God's
Help and Hope for the people and friends of our beloved Zimbabwe!
 
Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers & supporting us! We so appriciate you!
With Psalm 23
your Martin & Silke + boys
