Praise be to God that as I (Paul) write this, I feel like I am over my malaria and the rest of the family is healthy. Thank you to the many who prayed for this and sent encouraging emails. Also praise God that last week Donna and a colleague were able to have a wonderful time of refreshment in Ghana at a women’s conference while I got some extra time with Micah Joy and Miriam.
For those of you who have been following this blog/email update since August of last year, you remember that TWR Africa has been working on updating and revising its strategic plan. After many months of prayer and toil the new structure for TWR in Africa and the new strategic plan is being rolled out. Rejoice with all of us at TWR Africa that we are moving to the implementation stage of this plan. Which brings me to my current location for the next week: South Africa!
Part of the new structure within TWR Africa is that I will be helping with the regional management team and traveling to South Africa for meetings a couple of times a year. The first set of meetings starts on Wednesday and I came a few days early for some other meetings with colleagues and to do some shopping.
Please pray that God would give the regional management team ears to hear our Heavenly Father and wisdom as we work to further His kingdom.
Grace & Peace — Paul
