Hanging in Nelspruit

Hello everybody,

 

Kate and I arrived safely in South Africa – Dayoung would have been proud – we managed to wake up at 4 am and our bus driver said to us “you girls from a foreign country you get your food and eat on the coach, everyone else you have fifteen minutes”!  It took a little to readjust to just being the two of us again – always having bags and trying to figure out the next step.  Aaron and Brenda picked us up from the bus in Nelspruit on Saturday night and promptly asked us to preach in their church on Sunday morning.  I was a little concerned when church rolled around the next day because the Lord had only given me a short word about a having mustard seed of faith! Well apparently it was for me as well!  We only needed a short word, because when we called out the words of knowledge the Lord had given us and called for people who needed healings, we were approached by a mob of people.  Kate and I looked at each other and said, “Well I guess we should just start praying!”  After much prayer we had over 38 recorded healings and some more that never got recorded!  The Lord used our mustard seed of faith and multiplied it!  We have spent the last few days sharing and spending time at the Iris base here.  We will be painting one of the bible school rooms tomorrow, going on an outreach tonight and participating in a feeding program.  We leave to go to Mozambique on Friday.  We are having an amazing time and the Lord continues to draw us deeper and speak to us.  We miss our team that left us in Nairobi, but are adjusting to being on our own again.  Please continue to pray for the Lord to accomplish all that he wants to do in us and through us while we journey through Africa.  We are missing and loving you all.

BACK FROM GARISSA ON TO JO'BERG

Hi Everyone!

 

Kate and I are sorry that it has been so long since we have written... we were in the land of desert and donkeys!  We have had such a full two weeks it is hard to know where to start!  Unfortunately this will be a short update because i have such a small amount of time - but we will write a bigger and better update soon.  So the brief details are we had an amazing time with the Somalis in Garissa - did two outreach clinics... vaccinated over 150 children and treated over 230 sick people!  It was an amazing time, which we will write more about.  We spent the evenings in open air meetings where we saw and participated in the healing of deaf, mute and blind!  So many stories of healings it is hard to remember them all!  Went on a safari with our team yesterday and saw many beautiful animals.  We said goodbye to our team hours ago and both found ourselves so very sad.  The Lord bonded us together so strongly and many of us feel that this is just the beginning to many new and wonderful things the Lord has instore for us.  So we will be leaving Nairobi early tomorrow morning and beginning the next leg of our journey!  Please know that we miss all of you.  HAPPY BIRTHDAYS go out to Darla, Aneliese, Camille and Crystal!  We love all of you and hope to be able to write more stories soon.

Back from the BEACH

Greetings,

Kate and I have just returned from the first leg of our adventure.  We took the train just like we lived 50 years ago!  Kate was sure it was going to derail at points, but luckily she had a net to keep her in her bed!  After a very long overnight journey on the train we made it to the beach which was the most amazing place.  I can't even really begin to describe it, hopefully we will be able to post some pictures.  Discovered life under the sea and found a new passion for scuba diving (one that Kate already knew she had)!  The guidebook said that the downfall of our cabins was that there was no party scene - which we did not find a down fall at all.  We had some amazing time to rejeuvenate just us, Jesus, the waves and all the creatures under the sea!  We survived the craziest 4x4 bus ride of our lives last night.  The night 'sleeping' bus started off with techno music and a blaring moving and ended with us leaving the road and driving through the ditch to get around a line up (in a coach might i add!).  Anyhow we have now joined with our team and our spending the next couple of days praying and team building as we prepare for Garissa.  Everyone on the team has high expectation - please pray for us that the Lord will cover us with a strong spirit of unity in the next few days.  It is challenging as we are bringing together multiple cultures and languages!  Must run. Blessings to you all

Heidi and Kate
