Each October Ian and I land
in Georgia and then begin a 30+ day, whirlwind fundraising trip around the US
and Canada. This year is no different. We spent the past week in Georgia and just
landed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for a weekend of family, friends
and fundraising.
I sometimes see people looking
at me with a bit of pity that we have to fly around the country and ask people
for money (aka fundraising) – who wants to do that?
But that’s not the way I see
it.

Ian and I have the privilege
of serving the Lord through the 252 children he has placed with us at Project
Canaan and the people whom we serve with.
We also have the privilege of extending the invitation to you to be a
part of the great work that HE is doing. Why wouldn’t we love doing that?
Next week we head to San
Antonio, Nashville, Minneapolis and Chicago, then on to Ottawa, Toronto, St.
Catherine’s, Kingston, back to Atlanta and finally back to Johannesburg and home
to Eswatini by the middle of November.
Serving the Lord isn’t always
easy, but it is always an adventure. We are thankful for each and every person whom
we will meet on this 30-day journey and for every person who helps us to reach
our financial goals to be able to continue accepting children at Project Canaan.
This past week we received a
little baby girl, who we are guessing is around 6-months-old. Her mother left
her in a Shebeen and the
police were called to rescue the child.
We have given her the name “Kay” in honor (honour) of my Aunt Kay, who
passed away a few weeks ago at the age of 100 YEARS! She was my mom’s oldest sister and she was a kind,
loving, happy person who loved the Lord with all her heart and soul. My prayer for baby Kay is that she will grow
in love and faith to be a Godly woman like my Aunt was.

going to bed.
