By God's grace, the DFL team of 9 people arrived safely in Lubango -Angola- on the 17th of September. However - it was not without difficulties- between Lichtenburg and the Botswana border the team experienced their first punctured tire, but they managed to fix it quickly and then they were on their way again. They arrived for preaching in Gobabis - Namibia - on the 14th of September and the responses of the people were very good.

Although they expected their journey to be approximately 11 hours, it took them 4 hours at thay in Angola. Watch this space for more updates of this outreach.

Like a scene out of Casablanca, the propellers were rotated by hand and the engines slowly cranked over, sputtering to life, as our team of five prepared to depart to our destination and get to the task of building a medical clinic. ...[more]

e border post between Namibia and Angola and a further 16 hours driving on a very very bad road - only 440 km - therefore the team was extremely thankful when they finally arrived at 4:00 AM in the morning- they were expected 6:00 PM the previous day .
