Dear friends,

This has been a very tough period but at the same time very precious! It started just before my trip to UK (October 2018) when Yatza’s mother (83) broke her hip. Since she needed professional help, we had to put her in a private geriatric home. Yatza spent weeks chasing papers, medicines, help… I was stretched between the family and ministry needs. The cost of geriatric home was way beyond our abilities but the Lord proved to be “truly our helper in times of trouble” and worked in ways we would never expect. And even more, the Lord used the situation to straighten up many relationships including my mother-in-law’s personal relationship with him. She passed away on Christmas Eve (6 January). We are grieved by the loss but encouraged by the Lord’s grace.
