Thanks, Terry and Helge, for your wonderful, heartfelt reports on our amazing trip.
Marion and I had to dive into daily life immediately after our return and we're both having a hard time with that. So much we have seen and heard and felt and perceived in many different ways during our time in Namibia..
Yes, it was a blessed time with all so many occasions to connect in love with so many people.. We're both ever so grateful for having had this opportunity, to share in Helge's life and her amazing work for the children of Drimiopsis. She has impressed us immensely with her power and love and her God-guided way of dealing with all aspects of the task that she has taken upon herself. We are determined to do whatever we can to keep supporting Helge!
It has been such an inspiring experience to pray with so many different people. The power of joined prayer, simply getting together, holding hands, praying, singing and dancing has amazed me once again. And there was so much joy! At first I was a little anxious, not knowing how I would respond to the extreme poverty at Drimiopsis. But the exuberant joy in those children and the love-filled ambition of all the people involved in trying to provide a future for this community has deeple inspired and touched me. There is a very, very strong Spirit of Life present there and with God's help a LOT can be done in the near future.
We are very grateful to be part of this process and part of this beautiful, colourful Family of Man in that far away country.
Thank you Father, for entrusting us with this wonderful task and for enabling us to spread the Word of Your Love.
And many, many thanks to DLSF and Geoff for supporting this Soul Safari. It has been more than worthwhile!!
Much Love to all
Arie
