NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2009
The Holbrook’s Newsletter We will be working with…
Their vision is to develop devoted, healthy followers of Jesus. Their method is simple: win the lost, build the believer, equip the worker, multiply leaders, and send the called ones, who begin the ministry lifecycle over again by winning the lost. Check out their website: cmalliance.org We are flying to Africa on January 17th.
These two Tuareg men live in Northern Burkina Faso and have never experienced the love and power of Jesus.
PRAISE REPORTS
We are moving to Africa!!!!! We found a renter for our house and moved out on November 15th. Someone has agreed ship a container to Africa for us. We are going to load 2/3rds with humanitarian supplies & the rest with our personal stuff. We already have a house waiting for us when we get there. We found great airline tickets only $1,200 per person. Until now the prices were $2,500 +. We have partnered up with a great ministry- Christian & Missionary Alliance.
They are about to!!!
God is preparing the way… This house looks small but it is a HUGE blessing. It has 2 ½ bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (American toilets “Praise God”), a good size living/dining, and a small kitchen. The special thing about this place, it comes fully furnished, including a refrigerator and generator. The generator is important because Burkina Faso has regular power outages. Wait... It gets better… The location of the house is only a couple of blocks from the language school and two houses down from the CMA’s office.
PRAYER REQUEST More supporters- Our local church has raised a 1/3rd of our monthly budget, other churches & individuals have helped with an additional 1/3rd so we still lack a little. Grace to adapt to the new culture. Protection as we travel and peace to our friends & family as we say “Good Bye” The Fire of God to remain strong in our hearts.
