another test
OK… some of you are getting a 2nd test email. that is because I
missed a bunch of you AND a bunch came back from the 1st batch as
undeliverable.
So, in the midst of packing I’m also getting my email list updated. \
Now, I really have no idea whether or not I will be able to ever
connect with a computer long enough to send something to you-all, but
I hope to.
I fly out of MInneapolis Sunday at 3:30 PM to Amsterdam and then on to
Johannesburg. Because of the time difference, I’ll arrive at 10:30 PM
Monday evening…
anyhow, I’ll begin by being picked up by Rev. Mathe, and have the
privilege of staying in his home over night. Then in the afternoon on
Tuesday I’ll be picked up by Rev. Duma the chicken man and Skhumbuzo
Mntambo our partnership contact. I actually speak with both of them
all the time. We will travel about 7 hours to Rev. Duma’s home, where
i will hopefully have a bit of jet lag recovery time before teaching a
preaching workshop on Friday and Saturday to the lay preachers of the
circuit. Then it will be back to Johannesburg to welcome the rest of
the group. Wow…
anyhow, the long and the short of it is that i have added a bunch more
people, and a bunch of you didn’t receive this the 1st time. so, i’d
like confirmation that you would like to receive this. i’d also like
it if you know of anyone else who would like to be on the list to let
me know. OR if after Sunday, then email the addition to
mattsull@gmail.com. Thanks and God bless you all!
We need your prayers. the other day when i was on the phone with Rev.
Ndlovu we talked long and hard about the rabbit project. however,
when the conversation switched and i said that our prayers were with
him and the other pastors who are so very stretched, he said, “that is
the most important thing you have said to me in this whole
conversation” We who are traveling need your prayers. The people in
South Africa need your prayers. Thanks so much!
God’s peace amidst the pieces!

PS… oh, yes, there’s always the possibility that i may need to send
out one more “trial” tomorrow. hope that that is ok!
PPS… some of you have asked me about the possibility of
donations… If you wish to contribute the “best” way to do so is
this: send the money made out to WRCPF (Watonwan River Conference
Partnership Fund) and mail it to Jim Branstad 213 2nd Ave. S. St.
James,mn 56081 he will put it in the account and then when I’m in SA I
can use a debit card to use it for purchasing supplies. We will be
purchasing supplies for rabbit housing, for rabbits, for feed for
rabbits till there is an established supply, for seeds… anyhow, if
you wish we would welcome contributions. nevertheless, please don’t
take away from your other committments to do so. Thanks
