Our blog is kind of like a diary for us - and wow, another 4 months of the school year have already passed.
At the end of November, we had a break for a week around the Thanksgiving holiday. We enjoyed the relaxing days, sleeping in and simply having some rest. After the final three weeks of school for 2024, we are now in the middle of the Christmas break.
We are grateful!
How God made this school year possible and simply provides generously for us. A big thank you to everyone who thinks of us and builds us up in prayer. It is an intense time and we would not have come this far on our own.
Incredibly grateful for Sunniva, who looks after Elijah every morning. We can tell that Elijah is doing well and is thriving. The other three children are like big siblings and he talks about them a lot.
We are very grateful for our home situation, where we can welcome friends and serve others.
Thank you so much for all of you who let yourselves be led and support our studies here financially. These are your treasures in eternity and seeds in this time from which you can expect a great harvest.
Thank you so much! for all who are involved in sending Betty and her team and basically all second year students to the mission field. We are convinced that in heaven you will be thanked by the people we are able to meet and serve.
We are so grateful for all the people here who are on the same journey with us. With whom we can share and build each other up.
Two weeks ago we were able to celebrate Johann's 29th and Elijah's 2nd birthday with some friends. I (Betty) am very grateful for the lives of these two!😉
Right now we are very grateful for a week in a vacation home in the mountains in the forest. For us, it is a week of focus, recharging and lots of time as a small family in a small space. That's how we love it.
While we hang around a bit between the years and wait for the new year, the question of what happens after we graduate in May is also lingering in the air for us. We know that God is calling us back to Germany for the long term with a mission and we are looking forward to telling you more about it in due time. We are currently listening to what God has planned for us until He places us in this calling. Thank you for praying with us for clarity for this time.
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your families. Jesus Christ, our King, came into our world as a baby. We celebrate this gift from God! A new, blessed year lies ahead of us all. We are committed to walking in God's blessing and sharing it generously with those around us. Above all, we want to help people to enter into this blessing themselves by bringing God closer to them and sharing His love. We invite you to join in too. Share God's love with the people around you by doing good and speaking kind words. Invest your finances to expand God's kingdom by supporting people or organizations that are committed to doing so. Let's be faithful in the little things in the coming year, whatever that means for you personally. Every effort for God's kingdom counts and will expect a great reward.
God is with you in the year 2025. As your Father (Isa. 63:16), your God who saves you (Psalm 68:21), who sees you (Gen. 16:13). HE is your healer (Ex. 15:26), HE is your strength (Psalm 28:7), HE is your righteousness (Jer. 23:6) and HE is your helper (John 14:16).
We would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate that we are here for you if you need prayer or have any questions. We are not very geographically close to most people, but you can find our e-mail addresses on the contact page and you can also reach us via all the other usual channels.
