December 2006

Thank you all for your prayers for Nicole and I during these busy days. A brief synopsis since marriage on 30 September: went up to Pretoria to partake in a two-week course on Biblical Counselling with Dr. Wayne Mack. We returned to move house that same week. Nicole found full time work for the month of December. November was the usual busy month of the year as ministries were drawing to a close. We had the last SSTEP class (Survey of Systematic Theology) two weeks ago for the year. Mid-week Growth Groups also came to a close. This past Saturday, we had a church picnic where we enjoyed some sweet fellowship.

Thank you for praying for the sale of my apartment. We have sold and anticipate transfer to go through some time in January or February.

Please pray for a brother in the church who wishes to pursue a divorce with his wife.

Please pray for increased fellowship and interaction among the brethren in the church during this holiday season. A number of folks are sick and this is a wonderful time for people to visit them.

• Leigh Roniger found out that she has cancer in her bones. She had an operation on her broken hip on Monday and returned home on Wednesday. She has two young girls (around 11 years old). Please pray for Dexter her husband who is not saved and the family during this time.
• Jenny Chanquin, one of the faithful grandmothers in the church, broke her toes last week because she suffers from osteoporosis. She was back walking after a couple of days.
• Her daughter, Bronwyn had a major back operation a few weeks ago and will be bed ridden for a couple of months. Her husband, Chris, has taken this time off to care for her and their two kids.

The last few months have felt like a continual set of waves that won’t end. The trials and tests seem to keep on coming. Please do continue to pray for Nicole and I. Our sweet Lord is definitely in the process of chiselling away at this clay pot. We anticipate a respite in January when we will get a chance to have our honeymoon! I’ve included a picture from the wedding.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.

Your brother
