JANUARY 2018 NEWSLETTER

Christmas Fun with Louis' Godmother, Becky
 
Dear Supporters,

We have been back in Tanzania for two weeks now after having spent a wonderful time in the UK for Christmas. Our 140kg of luggage has almost been unpacked and we are slowly settling back into Arusha life. Kirstein started the first week on flight support for our new pilot's first week of flying in the central region, with quite a bit of weather around. Last week was his first four day outreach for with some weather challenges of his own and a new challenge for Amelia with the two boys at home!

Johann has done really well to settle back in at 'Johann's house' after being away for nearly six months, he really seems at home. Louis is also growing well and does not complain too much about the change in climate and environment.

We welcome our new supporters, especially those from Robertson and Walmer in South Africa and from CSK Hampton in the UK. Thank you and our 'old' supporters for partnering with us and enabling us to serve out here. 2018 has already shown some challenges, but with prayer and through Christ all things are possible.

SUPPORT AND COMMUNICATION
Thank you to everyone who has continued to support us during this 2-year contract extension, we will be extending for another two years until December 2020. The additional stipend Amelia has received at the school has helped cover the shortfall of our monthly support. However, her school administration is not providing sufficient maternity leave so she has been unable to renew her contract for now. As our family is growing we will need to expand our support base for the next 2 year assignment. Please consider prayerfully to partner with our work here and contact us for more information or download this form.
