In God is my salvation en my glory, 

the rock of my strength and my refuge, is in God.

Psalm 62:7

 

 

Dear friends,

It's a privilege that I can stop by to tell you about some of the things that are happening in Mision Adulam and Bolivia! Life is rather complicated at the moment. We had roadblocks before, but on top of that we now also have to deal with rising prices nearly on a weekly basis (up to 25-35 and sometimes over 50%), and the lack of for instance petrol. Where this is going to end we don't know, but are grateful our Father in heaven cares for us. This really is a matter for prayer, the impact on our expenses is great, as well as the stress all of this produces.

 

Concerning the young people in Talita Cumi and Adulam we had a series of virtual court hearings. The aim was to try and get some youngsters transferred to a facility better equipped to deal with the psychiatric problems that result in one crisis after another. Tomorrow a judge will come from the rural area, to have the court hearing for two boys with us. Both boys will be involved too, just as the lawyer we had to hire to help.

Personally I had a bit of a shock this week, when I discovered my credit card was cloned whilst in the UK last month. A large amount of money is gone, according to the bank I might hear by the beginning of April how this is going to be resolved. I'm now sorting out a new card, as especially travelling is rather complicated, particularly because we also have a problem with foreign currency.

Chantal came for a visit and helped prepare parcels for pastors in the rural area (bottom-left). Poverty is the reality in which many children who come to Jesed are living. Emily made the cute chicken on the table for mum. (bottom-right).
