News from Botswana 8/11/08

Dear Loved Ones,

We are enjoying not getting up at 5 every morning this month! Thankful for the moments to get up and savor the day before rushing off into it!

Thank you for praying for our grown children. Devin and Derek are here with us and helping with the school in various areas. They are working on some distance learning courses while they are here. Devin had recently undergone some more tests and has been diagnosed with epilepsy. He has been experiencing complex partial seizures, but we had missed the symptoms because of the other medical issues in his life. He started on the medication last week and is tolerating it well and has had no more seizures. While we are all thankful for the medications that help this condition, Devin is struggling with having one - more - thing. We will all appreciate your prayers.

This past weekend, we took five of our young adults to Johannesburg for a conference geared for university age students. They had a wonderful time, and we so appreciate the protection and guidance the Lord gave us in South Africa. As far as we could tell, we are the only ones there from Botswana. Two of the attendees will be entering our local university next year and we pray that God will allow them to shine His light in one of the darkest places in Botswana.

Please continue to pray with us for souls to be saved, disciples to be made!

Reaching the Unreached,

Steve, Pam, Amanda, Derek and Devin
