Well the kids are on another short two week holiday break from school, so our missions agency schedules its yearly Spiritual Life Conference during that break each year. So we had the opportunity to finally see the coast of Namibia for the first time, as our conference was held at Swakupmund which is a popular coastal venue here.
The conference was really great and much needed. Our special speaker gave great material and new perperspectives on the book of Judges. It was really great to just listen, absorb and be spiritually nourished. Being in the mission field, you are almost always giving spiritual nourishment and have few opportunities to be fed outside of a personal quite time.
We did have some free time here and there to take in some new scenery and bask in God's amazing works of art in His creation. There are pictures below to show you.
After we got back we were invited up to a farm an hour north to relax a bit before the kids come back next week. That was also good as well. There is not much to do where we live, especially when all the kids are gone. So most people go to the farms and relax. So we did just that. We had a nice cabin in the middle of the farm to relax in, with lots of cows, goats, sheep, dogs and just about any other farm animal you can think of. It was nice to just sit around and do nothing for two days.
The kids get back next week and so the ministry work will then kick back in to high gear until December. The kids get out of school for a month and a half in December. So in December I will be in charge of shepherding the church here in our town for that time. I am looking forward to having more opportunities to preach God's word on Sunday mornings during this time.
Enough for now, we just wanted to update you all on how things are going.
Thanks to everyone for your prayer and financial support!
God Bless!
