I Will Show Myself as Faithful and True

Dear Praying Friends

Thank you for your faithful prayers. We were unable to move out of the Valley

for about one week! It took much longer to repair the road, but praise God, the

road eventually opened again on Thursday, 7 February at 2pm. A bridge was built

across the gap where the road had disintegrated. The rest of the road remains

in a bad shape with huge potholes and "suspect" bridges across rushing streams

and rivers. Quite a traveling experience!!

Karin, Michelle and Daniel left for Lusaka on Sunday, 10 Feb, to stock up on

much needed groceries and personal items! They plan to return to Longezia on

Thursday (14th)

Please praise the Lord with us for:

1. Funds that we have received towards the Flood Relief Operation. We stand

amazed at the generosity we have experienced. We pray a special blessing upon

each one who has given so generously. Thank you!

2. For the safe arrival of a new missionary couple from South Africa, Hugo &

Salomie du Toit. They arrived on Thursday, 7 Feb, about 2 hours AFTER the

bridge was opened for traffic:-) We are extremely grateful for their arrival

and we know they will fit right in with our MV Zambia Team.

3. Safe arrival of Elizabeth Ratliff who returned home today (Tuesday) after

furlough in England and the States.

4. For the many powerful prayers and proclamations we received concerning the

situation in the Valley! We are encouraged and uplifted. Thank you:-)

5. Herewith a Word Karin received about the present difficulties: God is

saying: "I am building My Kingdom in the Valley and nothing shall prevail

against it. I will show Myself as Faithful and True. As God Almighty. Out of

despair I will bring great joy. Out of devastation I will bring an abundant

harvest. This is for MY Glory". Hallelujah!!!

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. Good prices as we buy look at buying groceries to make up "Food Relief

Parcels". These will contain non-perishable food that will enable a family of 6

- 8 people to "survive" for 1 month.

2. Theuns in England. He is visiting the MV Great Britain offices right now

and has quite a stiff itinerary ahead of him. He plans to fly to South Africa

on 25 February. We are both looking forward to being back together again!!!

3. Continued safety for us at the Mission Base. Protection against malaria and

cholera. Safety as we travel to and from the Base on "dodgy" roads!!!

4. For Mike Hawbaker as he flies to Lusaka on Thursday, 28 February. He will

hit the ground running as we need him to repair "the girls" Land Cruiser which

broke down over Christmas; makes a special trip to Lusaka with the big truck to

stock up on medicine, Baby Formula, Relief Food etc. In between he will also

continue work on the boat:-)

5. Continue to pray for Lonika (the newly converted witchdoctor). Her husband

is furious because they are now out of business and no longer making any money.

We love and appreciate each one of you!

Blessing in Christ

Theuns, Karin, Michelle and Daniel
