Hi everyone,
Here's a quick prayer letter update - bless you for partnering with us in prayer.
As always let us know how we can be praying for you.
Michele and Flora.
It was a mixed blessing to receive David Hay's newsletter as we have not heard from them since September - they have been very busy.
David Hay sent the following message with the December Newsletter which he has time to write as Janenne and Rachel have COVID and the family is in isolation:
Dear Friends at Tuggeranong Baptist Church
Greetings from David, Janenne and Rachel. Welcome to our December newsletter.
We hope you had a wonderful and joyful Christmas! And by the time you are reading this, a happy New Year. There are some photos later in the newsletter of our iKhethelo Christmas.
We didn't think we were going to complete this newsletter before the end of December. We have been even busier than usual as the expected arrival of volunteers did not eventuate (more on that below). But we are now in isolation away from the children and other village staff as Janenne and Rachel currently have COVID. While not a pleasant time, it has allowed us some time to write this newsletter.
Please continue to pray for our son/brother Andrew. He has now completed his second course of chemotherapy and recently finished an eleven-month course of immunotherapy. His most recent scan appears to show a slight decrease in the size of the tumour, and hopefully this will be confirmed in a scan next week. We pray that scans over the coming six to twelve months will show the tumour continuing to shrink and completely disappearing.
Don't forget we love to hear from you! Please keep in touch and share what is happening in your life, your family and how we can pray for you.
With our love
David, Janenne & Rachel
The Newsletter contains:
- Update on Jabulani's medical condition (assumed name)
- Christmas Celebrations
- Wedding on one of the house mothers - and the story of the wedding photographer
- Visa Extensions - still being processed
- Volunteer news - visa and COVID travel issues
- Miraculous arrival of volunteer to cover work while the Hay family are in isolation
