New: Kat's pictures from South Africa and Europe.
We have returned to America as of Dec. 8. We'll be moving back to Santa Barbara soon and starting school again on Jan. 5.
Thanks for your prayers for the Wadleys. They are doing better and are in search for a new community to branch out their organisation too. They've decided not to return to Phillipi for now, but let the leaders from the community do their job, as was the originally intended plan, and they will continue to support from the outside. Prayers for safety are still appreciated.
New pictures are up! Click on the Pictures link.
"South Africa is a low- to middle- income country, but the racially skewed distribution of wealth ensures that most whites live as if in a highly industrialized country, leaving most blacks in conditions similar to that of a non-industrialized country. These socio-political and economic factors were obviously detrimental to the physical and mental well-being of all South Africans... Material conditions of the majority of South Africans were appalling and many people were living under conditions of extreme deprivation. Seedat (1984) demonstrates how the policies of apartheid were designed to systematically 'cripple the nation'." (from our Psychology of HIV/AIDS reader)
We are excited that we have the opportunity to study abroad through the University of California to Durban, South Africa. We will be attending the University of Natal in Durban from July 28 to November 15. However, we will be leaving the states July 23 and returning December 8 (after traveling around Europe). We are excited that God has called us to go there together, to see what he's going to teach us, and how he's going to use us.
We will periodically update this page, so if you would like to know what's going on with us, please bookmark it. Also, we greatly appreciate your prayers (check the prayer requests).
