This does not bother me as much as i thought it might because a) I knew God's hand was on it and b) what was coming next.
On the 15th of September i fly to Tanzania! Not for a little holiday, although I'm sure it will be beautiful, but for 3 months working over there. I am going to join a wonderful missionary couple and work with their youngest child at the school she attends. The Hart family have been in Iringa in Tanzania for years. Andy went as a CMS (Christian Missionary Society) vet and Susie his wife went with a vision; to enable disabled Africans to earn a living. In Africa disabled people are completely ostracized from society; parents do not allow knowledge of their existence because of the negative affect it will have on the family, the subject is completely taboo and they certainly can not earn a living. However, in Iringa they now can. Susie has establish Neema crafts, an organisation which allows disabled people to earn a living. To find out more about their work look at: http://http://www.neemacrafts.com/. As it is the Harts youngest daughter, they have two, has Down Syndrome. Therefore, when attending school she needs support. This is where I fit in. After a lot of prayer I felt God telling me this was the right step to take next and as the family are returning to the UK permanently in January it is the only time I could take this opportunity.
So, I am asking you to join me in this adventure. I am not sure what the next three months are going to look like, however do any of us? I am asking you to pray for me.
As always, i ask you to inform me of anything happening in your lives and to ask for prayer. Thank you for supporting me so far and i look forward to what will come next; for us all!
Blessings,
Deborah <><
