Dear Friends,
On a sad note, when I went to immigration to apply
for a renewal of my visa, I was told that my file was marked
“non-renewable”. This means that I am
not even allowed to apply for another visa.
I will have to leave the country on the 18th of January. At this time, there are no other visas I
qualify for to stay in Zimbabwe. I will
therefore be looking for a full time ministry to work with in South
Africa. This will enable me to continue
raising funds and monitoring the HOPE program by returning to Zimbabwe several
times a year. I will also be able to
maintain contact with Abigail and Grace since the adoption process from the
Zimbabwean side is not able to move forward at this time.
I will keep everyone informed as my plans unfold. A friend told me recently that faith is a
balance between believing God can and will perform miracles and knowing that
even if He doesn’t, we will choose to praise Him anyway. God has good plans for
all of us. Sometimes we can’t see the
bigger picture right away, but I have no doubt that something good will happen
from this situation for me, Abby and Grace.
I would appreciate your prayers for guidance during this transition
time.
Merry Christmas to you all!
Janine
“The Lord is good to
those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is
good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him
sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust-there may yet be hope…” Lamentations
3:25-29
Praying for you and your many friends in Zimbabwe.
