“…I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you, My eye shall be on you.” Psalm 32:8
Howsit!
Hey from Africa! I am in my final week of the Cape Town venture and all I can say is Wow. It has been absolutely amazing watching God work. He has been moving not only in the client’s lives and businesses but in the consultants as well.
It is very true that God’s plans aren’t always ours…i.e.… I went through equip training and was prepped to be an ops manager but, in addition, ended up being a Joburg consultant. I spent the interim reading the training material and pepped to be a Cape Town consultant but ended up on the intercession team!
I feel as if I have been drinking from a fire hose! Being on the intercession team has opened my eyes to new and exciting ways that God can move. God is definitely not ‘boxable’! In the intercession room I feel like a venture ‘client’ because I am experiencing paradigm shifts and mind-stretching realities.
I am in awe of how God cares for each one of us and approaches/deals with us in ways that are meaningful to us as individuals. Each person is handled differently by God and with so much care - even if that person is being stubborn, disobedient, or ignorant of what God is really asking of them. I have been moved to tears several times as I have witnessed God’s compassion for his people.
I head back to Johannesburg Sunday. I wanted to stay in Cape Town for awhile longer and experience some of the sites and culture, but God needs me to go to Johannesburg so off I go! So, I will spend from November 20th to the 7th of December in Joburg (at this point – God can change his mind!).
Thank you, once again, for your prayers, I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate your support, both spiritually and financially. I don’t think half of what I have experienced would have occurred without my faithful supporters back home! Here is the latest request update:

Thank you, once again, for your prayers, I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate your support, both spiritually and financially. I don’t think half of what I have experienced would have occurred without my faithful supporters back home! Here is the latest request update:
- Computer issues – I am heading back into the ‘black hole’ of connectivity! I will try and get my letter out…but you may not hear from me again until I return home.
- Family – my Dad is in the Middle East on a business trip through Sunday, Mom is doing well (as are her children – the dog, turtle and ‘grandcat’ Samson), and my sister is swamped at work.
- Spiritual growth and intimacy with God – please ask God that I can learn how to ‘remain’ in him…I have had an incredible time of intimacy and don’t what to have a “relapse” into pre-fire hose state!
- Discernment / Wisdom – Wow. God is speaking, I am hearing, discerning and with wisdom and obedience imparting what he shares. The main intercessor couple has called me the “spiritual nurse” of the team…I am binding wounds, sharing ‘the right medicine’ – and helping them limp along. I didn’t know I had a pastoral side – but it has definitely come out during this venture. It has been incredible.
- Material Needs – Thank you for your support. I received word this week that a debt I wasn’t even aware of had been taken care of for me. Praise God!
Here is an updated “needs” list:
- Computer issues – I will not become frustrated at the lack of connectivity and be able to get out what I need to get out…and be content with that!
- Family – continued peace and protection especially for my Dad in the Middle East
- Protection – as I fly to Johannesburg and then onto the states in three weeks time
- Spiritual growth and intimacy with God – that I will fully grasp the fullness of God’s love for me – see Ephesians 3:18-19 – I really want this!
- Sleep – continued deep sleep that I awake rested from
- Discernment / Wisdom – please ask God that I clearly hear His voice, experience His leading, and begin to determine His direction for my life when I return stateside in December
- Material Needs - transportation, supplies (toothpaste, shampoo, etc.), and for payment of pressing financial obligations when I return home.
Thank you for your support of me in Africa!
