Dear Friends,
We can’t believe we are in February already. It feels like yesterday we started with 2010.
First of all we want to bless you and thank you for all the prayers, words of encouragement, financial support, food, clothing, furniture and all your gifts towards our ministry to the poor and needy. We have given our 40 000 (forty thousand) food parcels for 2009. We believe that for 2010 we can give fifty thousand food parcels.
You must remember that we don’t have a soup kitchen, but that we give a food parcel that can feed about five to six people. Just to see the gratitude of these people when they receive these food parcels, when they kiss your hand and sometimes bow down to try to kiss our feet! You want to cry and don’t stop crying. Then you become so grateful for the fact that you have enough food everyday, nice clothes and a good place to sleep.
Why do I tell you all these things? Because it is YOU who deserved to be thanked. You made it possible for us to make life more bearable for these people. Thank you for being obedient to the Lord and thank you for caring. May the Lord reward you, that’s all we can say. Financially, it was a difficult year for all of us, but we saw how the Lord made a window in heaven when you responded to our pleas.
We don’t know what tomorrow holds, but we know Who hold tomorrow. Let’s look to our Father, the Giver of Life and the God of all blessings. Put your life and everything in His hand and you will know that you are safe. He cares for you and He loves every one of us.
Listen to the words of Romans 8 v 31 and 32: “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all these things?”
Heb. 6 v 10: “For God is not unjust to forget your work and labour of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, an do minister.”
Thank you and may you have a wonderful year in the Lord. We are honoured and blessed to have such wonderful friends, brothers and sisters like you. May this be your best year ever.
Your co-worker in Him,
BOET & ANNATJIE WALKER |
