Greetings!

The summer is almost over and we have skipped almost two months and have not updated you as to what the Lord has been doing to us, through us and despite us. Let me cover the biggest events we have had in Chronological order…

Looking back at July


English Clubs:
                We had two teams of world racers come and join us in our English Clubs ministry. We would invite people from the streets to the events we have planned and it turned out great. We had a lot of fun and a lot of people come. We used it as an opportunity to invite people to English Evangelistic Camp and to the Church events we have.

Looking back at July


Timothy Leadership Training
                On the 25th – 26th along with Timothy Leadership Institute we hosted a conference on Pastoral Care. We had about 22-24 pastors and Church leaders attend. It was a good time of thinking, sharing, planning and learning together.

SHOCKING NEWS:
On the 28th of June Mikki was admitted into Intensive Care Unit. Anneke and I didn’t know whether we will see him alive. He was slowly sliding into a coma and was starting to turn blue and cold. We prayed and asked the Lord to save his life. He did. Few hours later we were told that he has type one diabetes. He spent two and half days at the ICU and then was transferred into a different department of the hospital. Anneke joined him for a week and half and then got sick so I substituted her for about 4 days until we were released from the hospital.
We are grateful to the Lord for a spared life, for all the prayers and help we received!
Right now Mikki is getting 4 shots of insulin a day. It is a constant battles with the level of the sugar in the blood jumping up and down.

Camp ministry
The Lord blessed us with a wonderful camp! The team and the campers were great! Campers were very open to talk about spiritual things! We had 3 people commit their lives to Christ and quite a few who are counter plating the decision. The Gospel was shared very clearly and we prayed for them that they would not find rest until they find the answers to the questions and doubts they have. Now there is A LOT of follow up to do, we are excited about the fruit that the Lord has given to us.
