Had To Share This Encouraging Letter

Dear Ed and Judi

What a joy it was to meet you guys and share a meal a few times. Our hearts really went out to you when we heard of your situation concerning your son and the starting of a church anew. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay conquered Mount Everest on 29 May 1953. On a previous failed attempt to conquer Everest, Sir Edmund Hillary looked up to the mountain when going down and spoke to the mountain and said the following: “EVEREST YOU’VE GROWN ALL YOU CAN, BUT I AM STILL GROWING!!!” A year later he stood on the top victorious and a conqueror.

Carien and I see the same for you and your wife concerning your town and the past with its mountains. We see you and your wife saying prophetically: “Mountains, you’ve grown all you can, but we are still growing.” Go for it!!!!! – for YOU are more than conquerors in Christ.

We pray awesome healing and growth for both of you as you pick up the mantle from God to shepherd your town. The Word of God says: “With wisdom a house is build”. It also says: “If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask God who gives generously.”

As you said you would like to pray for us, we truly thank you for it. Please pray toward the completion of our Transformation Centre. We have completed phase 1 which includes our children and youth department, however the conversion of our main auditorium will require a further $100 000. As you may know Africa and Canada are 2 different worlds when it comes to the finances. We truly need a miracle. Secondly, as we have already even prior to the conference began with a generational type church, please pray for our transition, that the body could move with and by no means loose people.

We will keep in touch and look forward to hearing news from you guys as to how your congregation takes awesome shape as you build according to a heavenly pattern.

Lots of love
