I came across this verse this am...

Isaiah 5:26 (NIV)
26 He lifts up a banner for the distant nations, he whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Here they come, swiftly and speedily!

Thats what you're all doing and i'm so thankful that you all decided to take this awesome faith journey...

You're so blessed to have PE, Court, Melissa and others are your seasoned leaders...please be sure to continually pray for and encourage them

Anyway, luv luv luv the pics...So glad you got to spend time with Muriel and her kids at the Joy Centre...Isn't she (and aren't they) just awesome folks?....I think of them often....

PE..."Im just saying..." ha ha...no really, is that the book that Ramanos (Hermanaz) poem/story got published in?...? thats so awesome and his poem/story just breaks your heart....

Anyway you're all on my heart... your pics and stories have me super excited as our team here at CLA prepares to leave for Ethiopia (next Thursday)...Please keep us in your prayers as well...

Blessinz

So excited this morning to see photos of Muriel and the Joy Centre. It blesses me beyond what you can imagine. Just being with her and those beautiful kids must have filled each of you with such overwhelming joy. Andrea - didn't I tell you???

Pastor Melissa - How awesome is it to bring your husband to your second home and share with him your sweet memories of Namibia?! I bet Muriel was thrilled to meet him! I hope this trip has been a blessing to you both, and I pray it brings you closer together as a couple :)

Pastor Courtney - Nice job with the pics! You're amazing. Did you hug Muriel for me???? I was just thinking how weird it is that Peter is with you. Remember Namibia Year One (AKA 2007)? You were texting him from Namibia asking him to find out if you would die from your ridiculous amount of misquito bites. Wow...how time flies and changes things! May this trip bless your marriage too :)

Missing Namibia. Praying for you.

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh,I can't tell you how much joy it brought my heart to wake up and see all these incredible pictures. So many awesome memories flood my mind. Time with Muriel and her kids, (Natalie, that pic of you with my girl Selma made me smile big time), the safari, (looks like you got to see so many awesome animals, so cool). I agree with everything that Chris and Jeanette said. Just soak up what time you have left. Not sure if you got to Dune 7 yet, I'm thinking that might be what you are doing today. As you sit on top of what seems like the world, just be in awe of God and his glorious creation and how big He is and blessed that he chose you to have this oportunity to serve Him and grow from it! The memories will last a life time and be so precious to your heart!
Continuing in prayer for all of you, Brenda

Love, Love, Love the pictures...and you saw LIONS...that is so exciting...

And the Joy of the Joy Center, what and experience isn't it...that is one place that brings such hope and much love, Muriel is truly a wonderful lady of God.

As you come to the close of your journey remember all the wonderful memories you will hold in your heart forever...but also remember that you are all family now and you will all have each other in your lives forever to alway share this amazing experience with, charish it forever!

Enjoy the rest of your time together, praying for you all everyday... safe travels home and please say hello to Natalie, Mark, Zac, Maya, Elyse, & Andrew for me.

Blessings, Justine

My dearest Peter & Courtney,

As I've been praying for you this week, God reminded me again of His call to ministry when you were just in JR-HI (It may have even been 6th grade). I can still picture you standing with Pastor Greg giving your testimony. Through those years, as I prayed for God's call & ministry to be fulfilled, I was also praying for your future wife. And there you are in Africa, with Courtney!! I praise God for His faithfulness over the years as you struggled to know & have the confidence to pursue this calling. I praise God for the wife He brought you to encourage & confirm this calling.

Praying for you daily. Believing God's will to be done. Knowing He is strengthening your marriage for the plans He has for you.

May your love for the "least of these", bring the Hope of the Gospel.

You both are dearly loved & missed,
Mama Good

PS Please, please, a few pictures together!
