(This is an email from Nathan to his most precious wife... me!)

Its great when sometimes we just casually say to a new aquaintance "Hope to see you again!" and God actually makes that happen! The crazy thing is we then say "Wow! Amazing! I never really thought we'll ever see each other again!"

I (Nathan) was given that privilege today.

When I was in Mozambique I met a young Dutch man from YFC Lesotho he was considering helping in the position of National Director, his name is Gert Van Den  Bos, well it just so happened that he and his family came to visit YFC Knysna and George especially to see how Options Ministry is working, also YFC SA has offered to partner with Lesotho hence the visit. We had the privilege to have them as guests at our home, He wrote in our guest book from the "BIG 5"... its Gert and his wife Brenda and two daughters Arwen and Nore (4/5 yrs) and a baby boy Ruan (1yr who took to me immediately). As they visited we had an awesome time praying for each other and sharing ministry experiences. You (Julianna) of course were quite a big part of our conversation, they were also at GA so they were trying to remember out of 100's of people who you were. I gave you all the credit for the Prayer Chapel. The kids enjoyed the games but unfortunately the tortoise was hiding. While the kids played... I saluted Brenda, its tough being a Mom to 3 kids.  I shared a prophetic word with her; how pleased God was with her and she need not feel as though she is not contributing to the ministry because she is 'ONLY LOOKING AFTER THE KIDS'. God sees her heart and he loves her and he is pleased with her. She was so overcome by emotion her husband just went to her put his arms around her and hugged her gave his handkerchief and smiled. They have invited us to visit their ministry in Lesotho.
 
I went to YFC centre this morning for devotions and Gert shared a message, dealing with the importance of REST as seen during the creation of the earth, light, waters, birds/ fish, plants, animals and man. It was indeed a blessed time. They are a wonderful couple.
