van der Westhuizen, Johan & Stephanie

 

PLEASE PRAY (May 28, 2001)

These last weeks have been very hectic for us. I have suddenly been nominated team leader for the Chile field amidst us having to look for a new house. The bank have turned us down for a loan to buy a house as they "do not lend money to priests, religious institutions and non-profit organizations" (although it is questionable this is true or not). I, who generally am very healthy, have twice become ill within a matter of hours to suffer for only a short while. Today I had to take Stephanie to the hospital to have her foot put into a cast as she broke her toe when she got entangled with a blanket trying to run to answer the phone and stepped badly on a previously operated foot. We have to move this week out of our house, so I now have to play Mr. Mom (this is NOT my strongest ministry!!) while I have to break away from the ministry to pack and move house with a wife that is put to complete bedrest. Do you think we can do with some prayer?

Please continue form an essential part of this ministry. God must have something good up ahead. I do not see Him at all fretting about all this. He continues to be God Supreme.

Together for His glory

Johan
