The picture of Sally and me was taken last week while we speaking at Harvest Church in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. We had a great week. We also got to know Ray and Cwyati, a lovely couple who are praying about becoming part of All Nations.
Sally and I are loving South Africa. We spent this week doing the practical things we have to do to live here. One of our adventures was going to the very famous Department of Home Affairs to apply for a permanent resident permit. That are some horror stories floating around about how long, hard and difficult it is to go through the red tape at Home Affairs. In fact, the week before there was a fight between some officials and someone who couldn’t take any more delays. Chairs were flying and people were throwing punches in the waiting room!
We also visited the ship handlers to start the process of clearing the container bringing our furniture through customs. The manager was a believer who had read some of my books. They gave us a very warm welcome and made us feel at home and certainly in very capable hands. The container is scheduled to arrive on Christmas day!
The rest of the week has been spent looking at houses to rent. Houses are very small here - our home of 2000 square feet in Kansas City is considered a huge home here, on the luxury side of things. Pray we will find the right home! We would love to have a home office for both Sally and me and extra space for guests and entertaining.
Thanks for your love and prayers!

If we neglect what we have to grieve what we have lost, at some point grieving becomes an indulgence.
AnonymousWhy Africa?
It is Africa's hour: Africans are rising up in great numbers to take hold of the promises of God for their continent. The president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, says there is an African renaissance in the making. Everywhere you turn you find a spirit of entrepreneurship and vision for new things. read more
Welcome to Port Elizabeth!
Been wondering what you two have been up to — great to see! If you have a current email for Matt, please send it my way.
Hi you guys, We are the couple that moved to Malawi last Nov. 8th 06. We are now back home on Kauai, Hi. visiting family and friends. We will be going back Jan. 06, taking a year at a time.
Well, are first year in Malawi was truly an adventure. After living on the island of Kauai for nearly 20 years we stepped out of the boat and by Gods grace we walked on water. Made allot of friends and learded a bunch more.
It’s always a TRUST issue moving any where and we have moved alot being involved in ministry for over 30 years. Kind of like you guys. So here we are making the last years count for the Kingdom.
We tryed to meet with you in KC but did not work out, no problem God is in control.
We have been following your move to S. A. and praying for you when we remember to.
Hey if you haven’t seen the DVD from George Otis Jr. called the “Unconventional War” get ahold of it, awesome! About Uganda and whatz happening with the war. Since the DVD the head of the LRA has given up and bailed out of the Country. Amazing story.
