Counting the days….

Stefan, Marié, Kenneth & Monica Dell

Wow! What a week!

  • Moved out of our house without difficulty
  • Settled in a friend’s townhouse – cosy & comfortable
  • Said goodbye to our darling cats – they found wonderful loving homes
  • Bought tickets departing 14 July at a good price, route & luggage allowance
  • Finished school – Kenneth & Monica both completed their grades

We realise that this is God straightening the path for us because of your prayers. Thank you for carrying us in this way and the encouragement you have been.

Please join us at one of our Farewell Events on 7 July 2013:

Please pray for the following as we wish to finish well here in South Africa:

  • All the many little details that we need to deal with.
  • For us to find the right house to become our home in Orlando and the finances related to it.

We Got It!

As we queued to enter the US Embassy our nerves made their presence felt, but the moment we stood before the interview window answering questions we knew that God had prepared the way for us. Thank you for praying for our interview!

We are grateful to report that our “Intercompany Executive Transfer visa” was approved and we will soon get our passports back with the visa inside. This allows us to move to the USA.

The next hurdle is to find cheap tickets with a big luggage allowances. 🙂 Please pray with us in this regard.

Your Missionaries!

To Do…

Stefan Leaving

  • Passport       – Check
  • Toiletries       – Check
  • Cool clothes – Check
  • “must-move-with-us” stuff squashed into remaining gaps – Check

Stefan is preparing for his last visit to our Orlando Headquarters before we relocate there in July 2013. He is there for meetings and strategic planning, but will also be looking for a house, medical aid and a long “to-do” list that his wife is preparing for him.

Please pray for:

  1. Good flights for Stefan (he is traveling with his maximum luggage allowance)
  2. Stamina while he is in Orlando
  3. The right, affordable house in Orlando. The Lord knows our requirements & desires.
  4. All the big and small “things” to fall into place for our move to happen
  5. Protection for the rest of the family at home packing. Stefan will be away 21 April – 11 May.

Thank you for your partnership with us!

Operations in a Box

GTL-Secure

“We have started using the ‘Ops in a Box’ reimbursement tool in our (Area) office, and will be rolling it out to our countries over the next few months” reported JR, the technology leader for Eastern Europe at our Global Technology Leaders meeting held in Thailand. For the past two years a group of us have been developing a tool we called “Ops in a box”. The tool is to help smaller ministries succeed with their operational needs and ease the administrative burden on our missionaries.

Satisfied and excited I listened to JR as my thoughts drifted through the many hours my task team worked to complete the financial part of the tool. To see our dream come true is such a joy. Pray with us that it will free up many hours for our missionaries, enabling them to share Jesus with more people. Thank you for enabling me to be a part of this initiative.

Requests:

  1. Thank you for your prayers for my trip to Thailand. All went well.
  2. Continue to pray for our preparations for our move to Orlando in July 2013

Blessings

Stefan
