Following is the email update we just sent out. For you faithful blog readers, you know all this already. If there is anyone who wants to receive the email updates and isn't on our list, just put a note in the comments or email me at spacie19@yahoo.com.
Hello!
Our family is getting settled in Moshi. We really like it here and never get tired of seeing Mt. Kilimanjaro's peak right behind our house. We know this is a busy season so we'll keep our update short and to the point this month. (Remember, more stories, photos and prayer requests can be found on the blog which we update frequently. www.thisisstaciesblog.blogspot.com)
So what's new with our ministry work this month? Here is a summary:
1. Africa Harvest of Hope has a vision of opening a new orphanage in the Moshi area.
2. We have submitted our paperwork for work/resident permits and are awaiting the approval from the immigration department.
3. The constitution for Africa Harvest of Hope's new NGO (non-profit organization) has been completed and all the documents should be submitted soon.
4. We visited a lovely orphanage this month and came away very inspired.
5. We are attending a small church called Yesu Anaweza (God is able). We began a discipleship class and women's prayer/accountability/Bible study group.
Along with the ministry work, we have some prayer needs:
1. Completion of our permits and NGO paperwork
2. A car for our family and ministry use
3. Additional people to join our prayer and financial support teams. These last few months have been a real struggle for us, but God is faithful and has always gotten us through. (Donation information can be found on our blog page if you are interested.)
4. Vision and wisdom for the leaders of Africa Harvest of Hope as they head things up stateside and ministry projects for us here as we wait for things to be put into place for the new orphanage.
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are thankful for all of you. Without your support, encouragement and prayers, we couldn't be here and we pray the Lord blesses you all.
Love,
The Orwas
1 Chronicles 16:34
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
