Xhosa in Cape Town

Last month you joined the Xhosa Student Ministry Team in asking God to multiply His work among the Xhosa youth.  We are thanking Him for answering by 3's. Praise God for providing for 3 Xhosa nationals along with team members, Britnie and Sarah, to be able to attend a life skills training founded in God's word and Jesus Christ to use in the classroom.  Thank God for providing 3 new opportunities this month to show the Jesus film about the unmatched life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to students and parents from 2 schools and 1 church. Please join us in asking God to continue to multiply and draw many to come, to see, to hear and to desire to know Jesus Christ. Thank you.

From Cape Town

Here is an update on Gail's dad.  He is still having pain, so the doctor wants to try him on another kind of nitroglycerin until Monday to ease the angina pain. Since the doctor started him on lasix (anti-water pill), he has lost about 10 pounds of water on his lungs and around his heart.  He will continue to take that.  He has had to stop the blood thinners for 4 days before the catheter so is having to eat only certain foods that will help him during this time.  He will go to the hospital at 6:30am Monday for the cath.  He won't be able to roll over for 6 hours after the procedure so he won't be home until our night time, if all goes well.
Thank you for praying for him these past two weeks.  Please continue to pray for him, the doctors, and his wife.
