home sweet home

As many of you know, housing has been one of the biggest prayer requests for our team. Being the first STINTers to launch a movement in South Africa, there are already so many unknowns that we are going to have to figure out as the year progresses. To pick up my life and move first thing into a hostel...wasn't the most comforting thought. But if it was God's will, we were willing to follow. But praise HIM, that He had greater things in store for us all along.

This month, we received wonderful news of a housing opportunity in Pretoria, South Africa. We gladly accepted! It is a beautiful 5-6 bedroom house, fully furnished, with an incredible backyard! It is conveniently located 8 miles from campus and sits in a nice, safe part of town. The women on our team will live here and this will be our "home base" where we will have team meetings, invite students over for special events, dinners, and fellowship activities. Not only will this be a comforting place for us to stay, but a wonderful place for ministry. Praise God! He provided us with more than just a house...He blessed us with a home.
