Waiting.....

Although the political situation is pretty crazy we are in no danger and in fact the response from the local churches have been amazing. People have come out from all over with food, clothing, child care, and medical assistance to help the refugees from Zimbabwe. Nancy and I are trying to see if we can help but the volunteers from all over the city is huge so we are just waiting to see. We are also waiting to meet with the builder and the school officials to talk over what is needed most which is starting to look like a type of building that can serve many different purposes. Please continue to pray for our ability to communicate our vision and that we will have favor with school and government officials. It's an exciting time here and we are having a wonderful time watching our God do His thing which is always amazing!!! Let us know what you think and if the Lord is speaking to you about anything concerning our trip here. We are listening! Love ya! ps. here are some of the kids we saw in Badplaas where the new house was built!

Hi guys,
We are praying for the volatile situation there. And it does not surprise me at all that the Lord would place you there at this time. You both offer peace, calm, trust, and faith in the God who can be trusted. Your giftings are so in those areas, just being yourself in the midst of the fear and uncertainty will be a huge ministry to those you love on.

May God preserve and sustain, protect, give you energy, a sense of humor, and typical Demus style love.....to give away.

We love you back here in your other home :)
