Dear Friends and Family,

| w/ Dorothy Likole @ Kafita CCAP. |
If you’re able to befriend us on facebook we’ve been posting
lots of pictures from our Malawi Trip there. We’ve had a great few weeks reconnecting;
saying goodbye to old friends and visiting churches were we used to attend. It
is always great to be able to worship with our Malawian friends and to preach in
churches that are pastored by former students. We even did a football (soccer)
tournament outreach at Maula prison where we used to take student to minister
for 12 years. We are also very grateful to have been able to move and sell most
of our stuff that we have had stored in Malawi for the past two years.

As travel with our whole family back to South Africa today
we have an urgent prayer request. South Africa
has implemented a new law requiring those traveling with children to carry
birth certificates with them. We don’t
have the girls birth certificates with us but we went to the US embassy and to
the South African High Commission and according to the new SA
law each of our girls have valid SA visas so we should be okay. The
girl's visas have the USA passport numbers of both Laura and I so the girls are
clearly identified as our children. So we are confident that we should be able
to get back into South Africa but dealing with immigration in African countries
is always a challenge and we have our concerns.

Besides the challenge of taking two flights across Africa
with three children we are taking
10 of those
black shipping containers (+ carry ons) with us. We are taking a Ford Explorer
and a Toyota land cruiser to the airport Monday morning just to get our family there
with our stuff. If you guys
could pray for our flights we would really appreciate it.
Zikomo (thanks!),
Jay, Laura, Clara, Katherine and
Lauren Stoms
