To: DJ & Karen

Diane and I would like to express our deepest thanks to DJ and Karen for the trip to Burundi!!!

We are struggling to find even the words to say thank you…….so let me attempt to make a list of what this trip have meant to us…
· I can most probably count on my left hand of how many other Pastors (in SA) would have gone on this trip…..you live what you preach!
· We asked you once, and when the dates were set you had the integrity and perseverance to honour your commitment….you are of strong Character!
· During the trip we had time to connect which helped us process the depth of your leadership……you have been faithful and taken a Leadership role in the Kingdom!
· You were able to recognise that Ps Charles was the spiritual leader of Burundi and that he is in fact the pastor of the nation…..you have great discernment!
· You have great strategic (missions) insight and have confirmed our entry strategy into the Nation of Burundi……great Wisdom!

We have come to appreciate you more as our Spiritual leaders and as a result we have grown in our understanding of –
· Our own call
· the Vision for Justice ministries
· to live life rather than judging life……….I’ll never forget your sermon on “Gaword” Glory or your dancing with the village church or Karen when she ate the fish in the Pastor’s house in the village.

We are looking forward to our journey for the future and know that God is going to use you as a great influence in our lives……………

We love you guys and thank you again…..
