Newsletter Steef and Tineke van 't Slot

Dear friends,
 
Our love and greetings to you. Three weeks ago we arrived in South Africa. It is Springtime! We are enjoying the sunny weather, the flowers and the masked weavers that build their nests right before our window...  Just praying for rain... weird thing to pray for rain, as Dutch people have learned to dislike the rain, because we usually have too much of it... but here nature is crying out for some water, as are the farmers.

Awoken by a dense woodfire smell in our noses, we look around. It is still dark, only 4:30 am. The round hut we are sleeping in is already filled with smoke. Since two weeks we are staying at the Bible college in Molepolole, Botswana. The school is situated in the middle of the communities, a rural setting of mostly small houses and some huts. Everyone makes a fire early morning to cook a big pot of Mieliepap for the whole family.

Our hut has a toilet inside, which is quite luxurious. It also has a shower, a cold one. And since it is end winter here and night temperatures drop to close to 10 C, the water is…   cold!

Battle won in Tanzania

Steef writes from Africa: Dar es Salaam, May 16^th 2015. Let me share some reflections with you from a decent but not expensive hotel room, where I spend the last weekend, after half a month in Tanzania. I taught future missionaries, what I love to do most. Well, I enjoyed it, but it didn’t go from self. Humanly speaking this was ‘Murphy’s Law all over again’, but of course it was spiritual opposition. Nothing we couldn’t combat, but a bit disconcerting sometimes...
