January 13 – March 1:
Zambia!!!
• Gillian and Krista: Working in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia with Campus Crusade Ministries. Orphanage work, organizing an office and preparing some programming for a sports ministry initiative they will be beginning after we depart.
• Peter: Working with Gordon Hanna, with the Missionary Central Committee in the East of Zambia. The mission station is called Chitokoloki (www.chitokoloki.org) and consists of a hospital, school and a leprosy colony. Peter will be supervising building projects in this location.
March 1 – 15:
• Maun, Botswana: to visit the missionaries Peter helped the last time they visited.
• Jo’burg (whitbank): Visiting Candice for a bit.
• Kwasizabantu: A South African communal community operating in South Africa, close to Durban. We will participate in their community life for a week or so and then travel to Pietermartizburg from there.
March 15:
• Pietermartizburg, South Africa: We will work with a contact of Anya Reuter’s, Regina. Regina has taken 14 children into her two bedroom home, relatives and foster children. We will building two extra rooms in her backyard to make space for the children to sleep. The rooms will allow her to accept more foster children. Regina is a Zulu woman who values education and makes it a priority for the children in her care. Anya has fundraised some money for the building costs but we still need an additional $1300. At the moment $750 has been donated by members of Southview, we still need $650 – probably any extra money would be helpful for her as well.
April 5:
• Somerset: We will be staying with the Roos family. Peter, Joel and Tristan stayed with them the last time they went to South Africa and we will continue the contact they have made previously. We will work primarily with Andy Hawkins, a missionary from the UK who is organizing a number of foreign and domestic aid projects in the region. These involve a sports program, childrens’ home for AIDs orphans, computer education, Community Health Evangalism. Their website is www.thembalitsha.org.uk.
• Andy said they could use any money we raised for their various projects. When Peter was there last he worked with a township church Andy was establishing a connection with. The church was trying to raise money for a functional building last summer and likely needs considerable help/money to finish.
April 22:
• Gillian and Krista: Capetown, working with Anya at a street ministry, drop-in.
• Peter: flying to Thailand.
April 29:
• Gillian and Krista: flying to Crete.
May 1: Peter home
May 9: Gillian and Krista home.

Hello my little one. So extremely good to hear from you. Sounds like you are really having an interesting and challenging time. Think of you very often. We are doing OK. Not sure if you are able to answer emails or not but I have been updating you on all my boring health issues. Will know the results of this mornings test hopefully by Wednesday. Maybe I will try giving you a call. When are you at the house? Love you dearly. May the Peace of God be ever with you. Hi to Krista as well. Love, Mom
Hi Krista, thanks for the info. Looks like you both have your hands full. Fill us in on how all the babies are doing. How about the food? What is your main staple. We are praying for continued health. The weather has turned very nasty & will continue to be very cold for the next week. High of -21 plus wind factor. Wish I was there. Hope all is still well. Looking forward to your next post. Has Peter moved on yet?
LOVE Mudder
