Hello! 

I hope you are having a good February thus far. We have been blown away by how fast time seems to be going by here in Switzerland. Since our last update, I have been able to see many of you. Was blessed to go to Hawaii to get our belonging out of storage and back to Washington for a few days. The few days of seeing loved ones and saying goodbyes were much needed!

Our time has been recently occupied with visas and many appointments to acquire all the necessary paperwork. By the end of February, our first petition will be ready to submit for Jotham's green card. We are also working on Charity's Swiss residency. This Swiss residency will be valid for 10 years, allowing Charity to come and go freely. Lastly, this coming week we will be traveling to the South African consulate in Geneva, Switzerland to apply for our South African visas!! Can not celebrate enough for this one!

​

Our flight to South Africa is on March 8th!! We did not anticipate so much time in Switzerland. We are thankful for this time that has allowed us time to process and reflect on how God is moving in this season. To embrace God's faithfulness as He provides our daily bread. Personally (Charity), I am so thankful to get to know Jotham's family and friends as I'm doing life with them. God has gifted me with another place to call home. It is not my natural tendency to slow down, but as I am in a slower season it allows me to abide in God's faithfulness and goodness. 

​

South Africa - we will be working with YWAM Muizenberg near Capetown. This coming May we will be joining a 4-week intensive staff training course. We are looking forward to serving and getting to know this new home base.

​

PRAY ALONGSIDE US

• Housing - Praying we are able to find housing close to the YWAM base.

• Visas - Praying our South African visa will come through in time, before March 8th. Swiss residency visa would be accepted before leaving for South Africa.

• Charity's health - praying her immune system would be strengthened, as it has been weakened from travel.
