…here in Your presence…

So you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God by walking in His ways and by fearing Him. For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in valleys and hills…                         Deuteronomy 8:6-7

Recently a wonderful opportunity was presented to Debbie to join women from all over the continent for a three-day conference called Joy in the Journey.
This opportunity does not come often.  The last meeting like this was in 2007 – so you can understand the wonderful refreshment this affords.

The meeting was paid for through special gifts – especially from women and we want to thank each one for their sacrificial giving to make this meeting possible.


A few well-known Christian women were invited to lead the conference, but those plans fell through enabling some of our own ladies to lead out in the conference, adding a level of understanding that would not have been present otherwise.

Sisters from our Zimbabwe days.

While much learning is being obtained, joyful fellowship is also being experienced, and it is so good to catch up with friends and co-laborers from years back, as well as making new friends from those who have recently come to the field.



God is good – His love endures forever.  Providing us with times of fellowship and refreshment, He supplies our needs – my cup overflows.




Pray that missionaries across the globe, who, living in a culture not their own, and perhaps living in areas of danger and unrest will be refreshed today either through God’s word, a colleague or co-worker; a refreshing that will renew their strength and commitment to be obedient to God.
