“Totsiens, tsamaya hantle, hamba kahle, au revoir, auf wiedersehen”, … – Saying “Goodbye” in any language is hard but we have been preparing for this farewell for many months now. So while we are sad to part with so many special people and South Africa we are ready to say “Hello” to our new life in America.

On Sunday afternoon we take off. Won’t you please pray for a safe journey for us and all our earthly belongings?

Also pray for:

• A house for us in Orlando
• Easy registration at the right school for the children
• Wisdom to make wise choices as we settle

Thank you

Stefan, Marie, Kenneth & Monica

There are 17 sleeps before our departure on 14 July to Orlando. Our excitement is growing as we see everything falling into place. Please pray that we will finish well.

Counting the days….

Stefan, Marié, Kenneth & Monica Dell

• 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:

• Johannesburg 10am: Rosebank Union Church second morning service + Tea afterwards
• Pretoria 3pm: Campus Crusade for Christ Office at 398 Rigel Ave, Erasmus Rand

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.

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!

• 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!
