March/April

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. Here is another update after me delaying in posting something. I apologize for that. I was hoping to have more of a concrete update about my future after my last blog, but unfortunately I dont have anything to update. I am still waiting to hear back from the schools I applied to, although in my heart I am still feeling that is where God is leading me. There will be an update as soon as I hear anything regarding schools and my future.

This whole process has humbled me in realizing that it is God who holds the key to our lives and our futures. When I have done all I can, the future is out of my hands and I must just wait, it is difficult because I would like to be the one in control. The days I just let go and trust, I feel peaceful about whats ahead. The days I want to grab the reigns and map out every detail, my heart turns anxious. So your continued prayers for patience, direction, and the right open doors are appreciated as I continue to wait.

In the meantime, I've still been working and enjoying life in Cape Town. With Africa Jam we are still continuing with all our programs and had a couple of day camps for children in the past couple of weeks. We are still working to get our business loan project off the ground this year, distribute loans to people in the community, and seek funding for future years of the work.

Life at home is still amazing. Coming home every evening to 8 amazing people is such a blessing. We've been constantly having guests come through our home for dinners or as a place to sleep for the night. We've even seen a few people come to know the Lord for the first time in the past few weeks as well. Life in our church is healthy and vibrant as well. It will be difficult to leave here if that is what's planned. Thank you for your continued prayers for my future and for the loan project (for things to run smoothly and for funding for future years to come through). I miss you all and it may not be too too long before I am back within Verizon coverage and am better able to keep in touch with you. We'll just wait and see ;) Peace
Ryan
