Good day my DEAR FRIENDS whom I miss a whole lot of a lot!
In just a short while, I will be spending a few weeks back
at home to celebrate the Manitoba summer with you. Can you believe I have
already been here over months? Before I arrive at home, I just wanted to let
you know about just a few of the blessings I’ve experienced in the last while.
In April, as I mentioned, God provided me with a new place
to live with two wonderful roommates. This home is already becoming a major
refuge for me, which is so needed in the work that I am doing. Here is a picture
of our bay window, which we have nicknamed the Holy of Holies as it’s our favourite
place to enjoy time with Jesus in the morning sunshine as it’s getting pretty
chilly these days!
One huge blessing this past month for me was the arrival of
my brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Marie-Eve Fast, along with my two
nephews, Raphael and Vincent. Mike and Marie-Eve were planning to come to Cape
Town to work with Hope Africa before I even began my own application process to
work with S-Cape House. Mike and Marie-Eve arrived in June and are working with
an organization that provides life-skills and discipleship training to people
living in poverty in a town called Philippi. However, in all our planning, only
God could have worked it out so well that they would end up living just a
couple blocks away from my own house!
Thank you a million times over for all your prayers and support over the
past year. I look forward to reconnecting with as many of you that I can soon and let you
in on more of what our Faithful as ever Father has been up to in colourful and oh so exciting detail!
Love,
Charlene
