Africa

Several weeks ago the Lord began to visit me about Africa. I seem destined to return to the place I love.

After receiving my passport back from the renewal service and having someone offer to help pay for my ticket, I had a deepening sense that this trip was once again ordained of the Lord. It is nice to go, knowing that God is sending.

Once again we will be working on the Mozambique border of KwaZulu Natal in the upper corner of South Africa. Our base of ministry is solidly established there, so we can go expecting great things as always from the Lord Jesus.

At the core of the rationale for going is the sustaining of relationships. After all, ministry is primarily about relationships. We have Zulu friends that we work with who have established many churches. We help as we can. Sometimes we help with leadership training, sometimes with building materials, sometimes with well digging equiptment, but always with love.encouragment, and the Word of God.

As I prepare to leave in a few weeks, I am thankful for friends that pray for us and help support this faith ministry as we go. We need each other, which is why I am going. At the same time, I am mindful that we only go as we are sent by the Lord and those who stand with us in this ministry. Thanks again for your prayers and support.

Blessings,
Mark Van Deman
