This is just a quick little update, especially for those of you that keep us in your prayers!
Moving: We are currently looking up the best ways to move some of our stuff over to Africa, and also, we are moving out of our London house at the end of August! We are excited to move in with Kelly's parents, and for Erie to take over our house with some housemates! We may be trying to get rid of things (either for sale or for free--eg. books, some furniture, etc.) and we are also open to suggestions if anyone has ever moved overseas before ... what to bring, what not to bring!
Departure: We still have no definite departure date, though that will likely be determined in the next week or two. Please pray that God will work out all of the details!
Ethan: Please pray for Ethan's health. He is a happy, healthy, and strong baby (weighing in already at 18 lbs!!!!), but some regular blood work revealed some concerns regarding his ability to fight off infections. For now, it is just something to be monitored, but please pray that this will not pose problems to moving overseas, and that God will keep him in good health!
Vehicle: Thank you to those who have already donated to our ministry vehicle fund ... we haven't even started a campaign yet! Wow! After a lot of thought, prayer, and discussion, Marcel and I determined that we would like to invest in a good ministry vehicle--one that is reliable and safe for the conditions that we may encounter in Angola. Our hope is that by purchasing a good ministry vehicle NOW, we won't have to buy another one for many years. Though MAF uses airplanes for much of the work done in Angola, a vehicle is necessary for our family to commute around the city/country, to and from work, and participate in various opportunities to minister with those around us. We are currently looking to purchase the vehicle from another missionary family coming out of the field in Angola. If you would like to donate towards our ministry vehicle fund, please make sure to indicate V95C with your donation. You can donate here, by the way: https://mafc.org/missionarypages/boers/
Thank you so much to all of those who have been praying for us continuously! We are so so grateful for the prayer ... and how God works through it!
