Dear friends and family

News from the family

Once again I can’t believe that it is that time of the year again- It was just the other day that we were celebrating the new year and now there are Christmas decorations in the shops and I am already planning in my 2011 diary!! Scary how time flies!!
The past 3 months have been buzy for all of us as a family- well, when is it not buzy when you have a 2 yr old and a 1 yr old running around the house!!!

The house is a display of boxes and brown tape lying around. I have been buzy with quotes for our move and organising the endless list of details which needs to be taken care of before we leave on 30 December and make our way down to Cape Town.
Daniella is still loving school. We have really been blessed with a wonderful school and teacher- she will be sorely missed next year.

Ethan is loving his new found freedom of walking around and being able to catch his sister and irritate her. He is very fond of her and he loves to play with Daniella- the feeling is not always mutual though on her part.

Clint has thoroughly enjoyed preaching this year! I have never met a man with such a heart for Jesus as my husband. There is NOTHING on this earth that he would rather do, other than tell people about Jesus Christ!

Updates on our other ministries.

Christ church Glenwood.

In July and August,we as a family were looking after the church as the Browns went back to England. It was great to serve as leader for that time. I (Clint) also preached through Titus during that time.
We are at the end of guest month (October). Ray and I preached a series called vintage Jesus this was so that partners in our church could bring guests.
We also organized an event at a restaurant so that our partners could bring guests. It went well with two non Christians with loads of good questions in attendance.

The Bible Talks student ministries.

Bible ministry training

We have had about 7 student leaders in Bmt over the past term. It was great to see the word of Christ dwell in them richly as we taught them Mark so that they would be equipped to teach it to others.

Friday meetings

We have just finnished our last one. It has been awsome to see people meet Jesus for the first time from the pages of the bible. I had an amazing response from the preaching of a short series I did on the real Jesus.

Sunday meetings

This meeting has really grown in size and maturity. At the start of this semester I was able to look at 2 Cor 8 and 9. Giving is such a big deal for us because of what Jesus did for us. This text always shocks me. That the Macedonia churchs gave under the situation they found themselves in. Grace was very clear to them.

Things to pray for...
Please prayerfully consider giving to our ministry now and in the future.
Please pray above all things we would trust God. The future is in his hands. We are far short of what we need for College.
Please pray that God will use us as missionaries were ever we end up.

We are having a fundraising event in November in order to help us raise some money for our move. We pray that it will be well attended and that it will be an evening of great fun and fellowship.

If we don’t speak again before we leave please pray for travelling mercies down to Cape Town, for us and the kids to a just to our new life and especially for Daniella to settle down well into her new school. Please pray that we will raise the money that we still need to support us monthly. We praise God for his continued faithfulness to us!!!

Have a blessed Christmas
All our love
Clint, Taryn, Daniella and Ethan
