      When you went to YWAM for the first time, I could see the excitement in your face and your spirit was soaring. When you returned from that, your whole countenance had changed and (as I commented to you) I hardly recognized you as I rememberthe years you were Youth Minister. Not only did you have a different "look" on your face, but your gestures and walking had discernibly been altered. There was something definitely changed. Then, when you returned again to Africa, I saw the abiding joy in the pictures; I read deep, deep thoughts that ministered with a missionary's heart. God touched me and changed me through your words (and many others I am sure). IN THIS PHOTO, I not only see the anointing in your life now, but a joy unspeakable. Something has been added. Extreme happiness... a type of fulfillment perhaps that has been missing. I would conjecture that it has to do with at least two things: Your abiding and total love for your helpmate for this life. I see that same extreme joy in Auguste's face also (What a genuine smile). Second, I see and sense the trials, temptations and testing you have recently encountered (an will continue to face) and how, while going through them all, you ministered The Holy Spirit in a supernatural way that left no doubt that you and the Holy Spirit has become intimate buddies for eternity.Which as benefited all of us greatly. My tears are overflowing as I write this note. Your life ( not yours to claim --never has been from the moment you asked the Lord into your heart) brings the whole feeling of the acts in the Book of Acts to life. You are truly an epistle written for the body of Christ who will continue to surround you and Auguste with prayer and oneness in the bond of love. Your part in the body of Christ is OUR LIFE. We nurture it, protect it from the darts, (I speak of the physical body as the analogy) minister healing and annointing when needed. We provide physical needs when needed...Praying always for you... Becoming "fruit" from your efforts together. Your heart is our heart and we share the same headship and joy with extreme thankfulness to our God, our Creator. AND TO THINK, THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING AS TWO IN ONE FLESH make a difference to the Body of Christ. To say the least, I AM EXCITED!!! And you?
