    November Thanks-happenings

    God's will is becoming clearer for our family thismonth. Our roles as volunteer coordinators at

    Ethembeni are becoming more clearly defined. We get

    our first mission team this week from England. We

    even got Ethembeni branded tee shirts so we are

    official! The site for the church plant has been

    narrowed. The classes we are teaching are growing.

    House visits have been a blessing. Elizabeth and

    Jacob continue to thrive. We are so thankful for all God

    is doing in our lives and in those lives we come in

    contact with daily.

    Church Plant News

    The team has narrowed thechurch plant site to two

    neighboring Zulu

    communities. This

    abandoned community hall in

    Sweetwaters may be available

    to lease. It is a bit of a "fixer-

    upper" but if it is God's will

    then we know nothing is

    impossible. Syvion (picturedspeaking beside Thomas) is a

    church member who lives in

    Sweetwaters. He found this

    building near his home which

    we are praying about now.

    We also may have an

    opportunity to start a church

    near a neighboring school in

    the community ofMagwababa.

    SW Bible Study &

    Chocolate Cake

    We have been studying prayer

    and the role of the Holy Spirit in

    our lives. One day, it was raining

    so hard on the tin roof of the

    church that Thomas had to shout

    for us to hear him even though we

    were sitting beside him! We

    celebrated Nomvano's birthday.

    We enjoyed her cake as you cansee!

    Welcome to

    Shiyabazali

    We have decided to concentrateour house visits in the

    community of Shiyabazali

    (means forsaken by parents).

    Shiyas is a squatter camp of

    Zulu and Lesotho people built

    on an old dump. We each see 8

    patients total but separately.

    We share the gospel with 4

    patients each week then see theother 4 the next week. This way

    we do evangelism and

    discipleship. We bring them

    medicines, food, Bibles, and

    help arrange transport to the

    hospital if needed. It is such a

    privilege bringing the Good

    News.

    Shoe boxes for

    Shiyas

    Our home group at Hilton

    Baptist adopted 24 patients

    that we see on house visits.

    We packed 15 items intoeach shoe box and wrapped

    them for Christmas. Each

    patient will get a Christmas

    gift of needed items to keep

    them healthy this

    December. It was a blast. It

    really is better to give than

    to receive.

    5th Grade Sunday school

    We had a blast in Sunday school

    at Hilton Baptist this month. We

    learned that names have

    meanings in the Bible,

    like Emmanuel means "God is

    with us". The kids practiced

    their Bible drills skills looking up

    each name. Our favorite game

    was racing to write from 0-100

    for a candy bar. It got pretty

    crazy about number 90!

    The College Scene

    Elizabeth almost has her

    first semester of college

    completed. She has made

    so many new godly friends.

    She enjoys leading her

    dorm bible studies each

    week. She declared her

    major. She wants to teach

    Math at the middle school

    or high school level. She is

    going to pursue a minor in

    Biblical studies. Pray for

    her as she will begin finals

    in a few weeks.
