Visiting with the five students from Bloemfontein and two staff members.
“Tell us how you knew God called you to become missionaries.”
Three weeks ago, we were unexpectedly invited to speak to five students from our Alma Mater, the University of the Free State. They are involved with Campus Crusade for Christ and were in Johannesburg as part of a mission project to help our ministry at the University of the Witwatersrand.
Some of the students feel the Lord’s call to become missionaries, so listening to our journey, which started when we were students, was very helpful. Our 20-minute visit turned into an hour because they had so many questions. Sharing our story, we are again in awe of the Lord’s faithfulness in our lives and the many partners who have joined us over the last 31 years in this journey.
Speaking with these students is just one of the opportunities we have had this last month visiting our partners in South Africa. It is wonderful to reconnect with long-term friends and family. Being here without our children is different, but they are both doing well. We are also thankful that we can support Stefan’s mother in her recovery after two serious falls and two subsequent surgeries.

- Thank the Lord for the opportunity we have to be in South Africa.
- Pray for safe travels in South Africa and good connections with our partners.
