First let me say thank you for your continued support financially, emotionally and thru your prayers, This trip could not be possible without you. My time with the World Race has been phenomenal, I have learned a lot, seen and experienced more than I thought imaginable.
As most of you know I’ve been in Nelspruit, South Africa now for about 2 months. After a back injury in late June, my team went to Malawi and I stayed behind to recover. It was during that time that I really got involved with the Marketplace Ministry and fell in love with the people, So much that leaving them now breaks my heart. I have a vision for a “christian” working women’s association. A place where women in business can look to for spiritual guidance and accountabelity, where mature business women can nurture and mentor young women. This would include all aspects of life not just the workplace, but personally, family and home as well. There is a luncheon being planned to launch this endeavor….I am very excited about the prospects for this ministry. My love of the markeplace ministry continues to grow.

I have seen amazing things in the market place here. People praying for God to provide customers, orders, the release of materials and prompt payment. More importantly I have seen faith and hope in the eyes and lives of the people grow, as has mine. Seeing God provide in awesome ways example: Paul and De’von own a small business, called Lumber City. They make custom cabinets and kitchens. Do beautiful work! The were having trouble collecting money due to them. We began to pray about it and asked God to shake free any monies that were due……He did! Several months ago, a customer bought a boat instead of paying what he owed, Paul was furious. After many attempts to collect they wrote it off as uncollectible…..Last week the guy showed up to make a down payment and make payment arrangements. Praise God! The same business lost a huge supplier, saying he couldn’t do it for R5000 anymore….the next day a man called asking to be their supplier for R4200….that’s the kinda thing that happens all the time in the market place here. Simply because they asked God to be the CEO of their business.
I tell you this, so that maybe you will understand when I say that after much prayer and diligent consultation, I have decided to leave the race and stay in South Africa until November. I will continue to post blogs and relay information about what God is doing here.
I do realize that you signed on for the world race, I trust that God will give you the same peace about this transition as He has given me. I pray that thru my blogs and photos you will come to love South Africa and the people too.

The World Race as graciously agreed to let me continue under their umbrella and support funds will be routed from the world race account to my account in monthly stipens, records and receipts will be kept for tax and accounting purposes
I welcome all questions and comments……we are in this together as the body of Christ.
Thank you, sincerely, thank you.
