Dear Supporters and Prayer warriors,
February 2012
2012 has started out with a bang!! I passed out
without warning on the morning of January 1. I fell on my face and
side after rising in the morning. The clinic of Oloirieni Community
Clinic investigated on Monday morning and nothing showed up in my
blood. I had thought malaria. The tests came back negative. I went
for further tests and it was discovered that I had Grave’s disease,
a problem with my thyroid. I am on medicine and I seem to be doing
better. Pray that the Lord will help the doctors in regulating my
medicine so I can continue to function normally. Thank you for your
prayers.
Translating and publishing material and tracts for adults
and children has kept me busy over the last few months. I
am doing a children’s version in Swahili of a discipleship course.
Our older children need more Biblical materials for them to grow in
their relationship with Christ.
I am mentoring a young Christian but she is
not a good reader and gets frustrated. Pray for Hafsa
that she will continue to study and read God’s word. She is
growing slowly but surely.
School at the Bible Baptist Academy is flourishing!
We have almost 250 students this year and over 25 staff members. We
have up to grade 6 and next year will be grade 7, which is the last
grade before secondary school. Our primary school is bulging at the
seams! We need additional land close by the school for a pre-primary
wing. Pray with us as we continue to seek God’s
will in this.
I am amazed how God protects and provides. Thieves
have been bothering others in our area. We discovered missing things
here at my house, but I have not lost anything of big value. Pray
for God to continue to protect my home and my property here in
Arusha. Also, Satan has been trying to discourage me in financial
areas, but I am trusting God to continue to thwart Satan’s attacks.
Pray for me and for my ministry here, as I continue
to serve the Lord and witness to the unsaved.
Thank you for the faithful support financially and faithful
prayers!!! God Bless!
In His service
here in East Africa,
Mrs. Joanne Foltz
