Leaving on a jet plane...

Traditional Zuli Dance

Someone somewhere said that all things must come to an end I guess as long as we are here on earth that may be true. We are always in transition in one way or another. So, we've come to our last day, it's a long plane ride back. Uggg... Kellie and I bring back a treasure of memories. Swazi pastors singing, a precious family in Mozambique, young pastors struggling to lead their congregations, Bible college students struggling to master the concepts of hermeneutics, the sense of Christ's love in these lovely believers. We take it all back with us. We also take back a deep sense of gratefulness, to those who have faithfully prayed for us and enabled us to make this trip with financial gifts. Gratefulness to the Dieners; Bud, Teresa and Luke who have graciously hosted us in their home, allowing us to participate, taxiing us around, and letting us tag along, introducing us to so many wonderful people.
Thanks Bud, Teresa and Luke
To you all we are most certainly thankful and can say along with the Apostle Paul "  I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus." I Cor 1:4   Most of all we thank God because by His grace we are what we are and we do what we do, He has certainly been gracious.  There huge needs here which seem to be as overwhelming as the tsunami that swept Japan yesterday. Yet we serve a God who is greater than all our needs. We pray to him that he would cause a renewal of commitment within His church here to be faithful to His Word because it is the only solid basis upon which it can stand against the challenges that it faces and those that are to come. 

Thanks for reading, thanks for following this. 

For His glory,
Craig and Kellie
