Amalia
We will be kept up to date with Amalia's progress through David and Alisan Greeff who are now living in Namibia and are friends of Lyndon Church.
Christmas Greetings from Amalia
Just before Christmas we received a card from Amalia and this is what she wrote inside the card: "To Lyndon Methodist Church - Thank you for sponsoring me. I am excited about doing my course. I have finished three books already. I am really learning a lot. I am praying for you. Please read Ps 20.4. God bless you this Christmas from Amalia."
Amalia Update - November 22nd 2006
Amalia is now employed by us 2 days a week in the house as we seek to give her an income to buy food etc. now we are financlally helping her to set us a hairdressing business. I don't know how it will go as there are lots of hairdressers around but it is something she enjoys. I hope, for her sake, that it works out. Best wishes from Alisan
