Greetings From Africa


Hello everyone. Just thought I'd post a quick little note from Brooke and me. Things are going well here in South Africa. We are working with an organization called Hands at Work (check out their web page www.handsatwork.org). They do work in 7 different countries and are also spread out throughout all of South Africa. They are a Faith Based Organization (FBO) and they are doing amazing work. Being here is definitely an answer to our prayers. Many of you know Brooke and I applied to the Peace Corps and waited for almost 2 years before we got our assignment. During our waiting time we had thought maybe God was calling us to do something else. We looked at several different missions trips, but none of them felt right. We wanted to live in a community and stay for an extended period of time without having to spend our own money to get there and live there. We wanted a two year experience like the Peace Corps, but wanted it to be like a mission trip. Well it just goes to show that God has his own timing. We could not have picked a better organization to be with had we picked it ourselves. Thank you Lord for answering our prayers. Please continue to pray for us as we are here. If you have a chance check out our blog at heubner.blogspot.com. Hope all is well back in the states, and feel free to come and visit!

Love,

Jed
