It is “holiday” here in Namibia, which means schools are closed and the town is quieting down. This time gives us the opportunity to see a little more of Namibia as we do some traveling. In addition, we will get to be a part of different ministries here that we have not yet had the chance to serve in. One that I am most excited about is a children’s home in the capital. Some of the children who live there have nowhere to go for the holidays, and they remain at the home with nothing to fill their time. Several of us from the Rehoboth team will be spending a week with them, doing a VBS type program and getting to love on them! Then, Mackenzie’s parents are coming to visit over Christmas, and we are excited to see them!
Here is a little schedule of the next few weeks:
December 9-13 Road trip to southern Namibia with 3 other girls from our team to see Fish River Canyon
December 14-20 Our team is in the capital, working at the children’s home
December 22- 30 Mackenzie’s parents are here, and we will be traveling with them to the coast, and then doing a 2-day camping safari at Etosha National Park.
December 31 Return to Rehoboth
January 5-10 In Rehoboth, working with a local church to help renovate a building which will become a community center for the children and youth, as well as visiting other ministries in town, including another children’s home
January 12 Back to Kwakwas AND our high school friends who live at the hostel will return!
I would so appreciate your prayers this holiday—that even though we have a break from our normal routine of life here, that we would still make the most of every opportunity and be able to share the love of Christ.
Praying for you all...that as Christmas approaches, you are keeping your eyes fixed on the beauty of our Savior.
Love,
Kristen
