SOUTH AFRICA-CAPE TOWN
Dear family and friends,
Here I am, less than 3 weeks before the big move. I will go home to Germany, get my visa and then go to Cape Town as soon as I have enough funds.
I am doing ok in all this, am so glad that God provides me with peace and trust and all that. I know that He is here and He is working in all this. Thank you so much for your prayers!!!!!!!
Trust is what my theme is these days…a trust that is weak and raw and vulnerable, a trust that can only come from my God

When will I leave the U.S. for South Africa?
My last day of work at East Hill Church will be Friday, July 20th, 2007 and I will fly home to Frankfurt, Germany exactly one week later on the 27th of July. I am returning to Germany to apply for my visa which must be done from my home country. Then I will have approximately three months in Germany to work and be with friends and family before I embark on my new adventure to Capetown, South Africa.

How is my support going?
I have a lot of people praying for me and to be honest that is the most important thing right now. It helps not to stand alone J
The finances are slowly coming in. I should have about 1700 $ by now, but need at least 3,200$ to be able to have a “reserve” here at East Hill at all times in case of emergency PLUS the money for the first 2 months there that I can spend: in all 6,400 $. I believe that God will provide and bring it in. If I cannot cover the first months in Cape Town, I cannot be sent out yet. Also, I need to have the “reserve” money in at all times. If I fall under the 3,200 $, I have 60 days in financial emergency state before I would need to leave the field to go home and build up my support again. Certainly, I would not want to go there.How can you support me in this?
- with your prayers. During this season of transition I am need of spiritual protection over my emotions, decisions, thoughts and actions. I need discernment and God’s wisdom for balance. Likewise, you can pray for a good and stable family that will open their home to me in Capetown. My e-mail address is newborntigger@yahoo.com and I would love to hear from you at any time.
Financially, I am going to need approximately $1,650.00 a month in support. While East Hill will be giving me some financial support, it will not cover the full support amount that I need.
My IMMEDIATE needs are 2 months worth of my budget as reserve PLUS 2 months of my budget to actually spend on housing and food to be able to go: 6,400$
If you need a tax receipt, you can send payments to East Hill Church. Please make sure to note "South Africa Long Term Missions” on the memo line of each check .
The address of The East Hill Church is:

You can send checks made out to East Hill to the East Hill PO Box .
Finally, If you have any questions about my plans or want further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I’d love to hear from you as well J
May God bless you!

Sincerely, Kerstin
