Praise the Lord!


Today we got the news that the work permit for Christiaan & Rita was finally approved -this after waiting for more than a year for word from Home Affairs.

Rita & Christiaan are from Belgium and moved to Namibia in 2005 to serve the Lord in Keetmanshoop. They are houseparents at the Ark and are doing an amazing job. God has used them in a marvelous way to make the Ark a stable home and loving environment for the children.

They longed to visit their family back home but could not leave the country for a very long time because there was no reply from Home Affairs.
We are so thankful that they have now finally the documentation to stay in Namibia until October 2011, at least. And the best is, that they can go to Belgium in December and return to Namibia without problems.
Praise the Lord for this outstanding miracle!

Braai at the National Office

Yesterday we had our first braai (barbecue) at the National Office and we not only enjoyed great food (of course meat...but also roosterbrood, salads, cous-cous, butternut and brownies) but had lots of fun, too.

We played memory and pictionary. And as you can see in the pictures we competed in drawings and had a big laugh.
