First Christian Church of Burbank

Kevin,

I am humbled by the donation to help with the school fees. I never imagined getting help of this magnitude. I want to promise you and the church that every dollar will go towards helping the school kids. I will prepare a report on how the funds will have been used as well as how these students are progressing with their education/studies. There is so much joy in my heart and cannot expressed it in words but God knows how elated I am. May the Lord bless every hand that contributed towards this fund as well as the BFCC leadership. I will continue to pray for BFCC and we request that you continue to pray for us so that we remain in the true service of Christ.

Just an update on our well being:

Felli is fine and she stays at home. She drops and picks Ano from school. Ano is in first grade and he is doing so well. It is so funny that he is having challenges with learning our native language. Ano still has fond memories about America and he vividly remembers Owen’s birthday party that he attended. I have settled in well at work. I have busy work schedules but I am managing.

The political situation is slowly improving though there are some antagonising forces in the government of national unity. Everyone is praying that this government of national unity will put the nation’s interests first. The economy is gradually responding to the positive political outlook, albeit at a slow pace. Basic food stuffs are now available in the grocery stores and of late the prices have been gradually coming down. The salaries are very low to such an extent that most of the employees get salaries of between US$100-US$200 on a monthly basis. The water supplies are still erratic and we have gone for two months without running water in our apartment. Electricty supply is also erratic.

Please extend our heartfelt greetings to the entire congregants at BFCC. We miss the good days we used to fellowship together. BFCC had become our second home.

Say hie to Donna and Owen.

I will confirm once the deposit reflects in my Burbank BOA account.

Once again thank you and may the Lord continue to take care of you and bless you.

Kind regards

Themba
