Prayer Needs
Here’s the latest news from David and Sandy Echols January-March 2011
Hello again, If there is one thing we’ve learned about Namibia in 2011, it’s that the first time you see anyone in the new year (even if you’re a month into it) you have to greet them with an enthusiastic “Happy New Year.” So, Happy New Year everyone! Now, to catch you up on what has happened over the last few months:
November—What a busy & exciting month! Time to wrap up the school year & get ready for Community Hope School’s annual Christmas program. Sandy taught dance classes to prepare the kids for the show (see the dances at davidandsandy.org/Videos.htm). When the night came the kids were all ready & looking great in their costumes; the community came out to see their performance; and that night our students shared the gospel message with the people of Katutura. December— School holiday! We had the month off from school & Sandy’s parents got to come up from South Africa for a visit. We enjoyed our first Christmas back in Africa with a good mix of American & Namibian traditions (we had turkey, followed by homemade ice cream).
Pray for the second grade, as Sandy is teaching many of their classes. Pray for spiritual growth in David’s Discipleship classes (grades 5, 6 & 7). Pray for wisdom and direction as we start looking into future opportunities for more ministry in Namibia.
