Hi Everyone
Since I’ve been back from the Great lakes Region in October we’ve been running a hectic schedule and asked God to give us the strength and endurance for this last leg of our preparation before we leave for Burundi in Jan 2009.
Over the last month we have had a couple of events where we were able to share about God’s vision in the Great lakes and how He has been so faithful in providing the means to get there! We have been using these get-togethers to provide opportunity for more families to partner with us in this journey. Diane and I also want to extent a big thank you to those of you who have been serving and helping us through this time. People who have helped and supported the following events.
· Ivan & Carol – event held at their house on 11 Oct
· Llewelyn & Jenni – event held at their house on 15 Nov
· Andrew & Melissa + small group at the Potjie Dinner – event held at Discovery on 15 Nov
· Ben & Maria – event to be held at their home on 22 Nov
The potjie dinner have raised an awesome R7680 towards our relocation cost. Thank you Thank you !!
During the last month God has been speaking to me about Luke 10:4 “Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.” And in Matthew it speaks about not taking an extra tunic.
I understood from the Holy Spirit that we must not trust in our own provision, our own car or limit our focus on just driving up to Burundi. In fact the word says do not greet any one on the way. This did seem strange to me at the time but last night when visiting a small group lead by Andrew & Lizelle we received prophecy and words of wisdom that we must not have negative words spoken over Burundi or the DRC. This clarified for us not to travel by road to Burundi as we will avoid negative words spoken on the way about DRC which is instilling fear in people's hearts. So this settles it in our hearts we are not driving up any more but rather flying the end of Jan 2009.
The change in plan is I believe is from God and we must be flexible and mature enough to allow God to change our plans! Now this will change the relocation costs somehow which I have updated here on the blog.
Please continue to pray for us for the following:
1. Family to rent our T/House
2. Partners to help provide for Relocation Costs
3. Financial supporters for Monthly Support
4. Intercede for a meeting at Work where I’m going to share my journey with God, on Thursday 4 Dec @ 14:00
Love you guys !
Anton & Diane
