Belated House Warming Party

Yesterday we had over 40 guests descend on our pad to warm our house for a very British afternoon tea and cake! It was a really good time and made us realise how far we've come from knowing just a handful of people to building up a good network of friends. We still have a long way to go of course but we are feeling settled here. A number of children enjoyed decorating biscuits and having their faces painted while the adults chatted.

The North

A couple of weeks ago Geoff and Helmuth (National Director) ventured north to visit the University of Namibia northern campus and a teacher training college to encourage the Campus Crusade (Agape) groups there. Here you can see some of the students he was working with, the fun they had, the food they ate and the floods viewed from the plane. Do thank God for the rain on this dry land but please pray for the north of Namibia which has suffered terrible flooding.

Student Ministry Team

Here is the student ministry team! Imelda and Sid are quality people keen to share their faith and make multiplying disciples. Both Imelda and Sid are raising their financial support at the minute so pray for them; that they would be a blessing and receive blessings. It's a slow process. It also means Geoff has to take on quite a heavy load in the meantime.

Summer in Namibia

The view from our house today, during one of many of the recent thunderstorms, and afterwards - beautifully hot and dry! The rains are heavy and have recently caused huge pot holes in the roads around the town... as if the Namibian taxi drivers weren't enough to contend with!

In Residence

Just one of the many interesting visiting creatures we get in our house!

Freshers - Project Jericho

The term has begun with a blast. Geoff and his team (Sid and Imelda - pictures to follow) have gone from one place to the next with opportunities to present the gospel to most first years on nearly every campus; the Uni, the Poly, WCE (the teacher training college)... Many responded positively. Please pray that their decisions to follow Christ are rooted quickly and deeply. Pray too for our team of staff and student leaders to follow up effectively. What an awesome start to the year!

Monday Nights

Monday nights are busy at the Shaves! We have about 25 student leaders round our house for food, Bible input, discussion and leadership training. It's a dynamic time!
