2011 Update by Marilyn Cook

Stu’s book, Warlord, is printed and waiting for the binding machine. If you want to help with this project contact Safari Insight Mission, alandvel@safariinsightmission.com.

Jason Nicol will be coming to Africa soon and will hold two Insight Seminars in Mozambique and one in the Vaalwater/Leseding area. He will also be collecting other Bible Study materials prepared by Stu that can be published.

The old tent is to be replaced by a zinc roof and a cement slab to help keep out the sun and the rain. Every week we pray for cloud cover and no rain until after the children have had their treats. Only one afternoon since the first of December have we been ‘rained out’ – actually we were ‘rained in’ a small zinc building, about 70 of us. But, as Isaac the 12-year old who tells the story so well began, the rain stopped and the kids could hear every word and interacted with Isaac in a great way.

We expect to have a new sign soon as well. Will send pics when it is up!
