As we look back over this year, we are grateful for the many relationships that God has blessed us with. One in particular, is our dear Zimbabwean friend Terrance. Terrance brought joy into our lives despite the tragedy that we had gone through. We were blessed to be able to sow some of "Johnathan's Seeds" into Terrance's life with the purchase of a passport in January, for his brand new bride.
We have kept in touch with Terrance even after moving to Maun (800km away) in May of this year. Recently, we were in Gaborone for medical appointments, and we were able to spend some time with Terrance and Patience. It was great to see them again.
In one of our phone conversations wiith Terrance, we mentioned that my parents would be coming to visit. Terrance asked if my parents would look for a camera for him...perhaps at an auction or garage sale. Terrance previously had a camera, and was able to earn money taking pictures of people and selling them the photos (pictures are very special in Botswana as few people even have pictures of their loved ones, and even fewer people have cameras). Well, God had an even better plan for Terrance. My parents were able to get an excellent camera for Terrance from the lost and found at their church. It seems that the camera had been there for over a year, and the parish workers were glad to allow them to bring the camera for Terrance. In fact, one of the workers even donated a couple of rolls of film to go with it. So after taking it to the camera repair shop for a tune-up, my parents were able to bring this blessing for Terrance. He was estatic to say the least! God does work in wonderful ways, and even more good has come from Johnathan's passing!
I've included an older picture of Terrance and Patience as well as one of Johnathan since I've mentioned him alot in this posting.
