Evidence of Faithfulness

The last two months have been full of traveling, meetings, & attempts to figure out my visa. The Lord has been so faithful throughout this process & it has been such a blessing to see his hand of provision whether it be through a complete stranger loaning me their car for a support meeting (yes, this actually happened) or through providing new supporters & people to connect with. My heart is full of thankfulness for the ways God had encouraged me along the way as I have had the opportunity to catch up with friends & family. It has been both a growing & trust-building time for me & I’m grateful for both the ups & downs that have pushed me to have a deeper dependence on Him.

Support Raising & Visa

Many of you have been praying with me about my support & visa & the Lord has definitely heard your prayers! I am praising the Lord for his faithfulness & am happy to announce that

I am now at about 50% of my monthly support & almost 30% of my setup funds. In two days, Lord willing, I will finally be able to apply for my visa in Chicago after not being able to submit in DC when I went about a month ago. However, God has been faithful to grant Kyle, another WOL missionary, smooth sailing when he applied for his visa last week in Chicago & we pray that he will do the same for me & two others looking to head to SA as interns as well. We are trusting that God will grant us all our visas in his perfect timing. In the meantime, we seek to be faithful to what he has put in front of us & for me, that’s support raising. Next week I plan to head back to the Bahamas to continue support raising from there. I look forward to more opportunities to connect with people & share about what God is doing in SA.


Staying Connected

I am grateful for the opportunities that the Lord has given me to stay connected to WOLZA and the people in South Africa. While I’ve been gone, I’ve been able to help out with a few special projects as well as share devos one night with the girl students. It has been such a blessing to be able to continue to invest in the ministry and the lives of people there even from thousands of miles away.


If you would like to hear more about what God is doing, please let me know so we can connect or if you feel the Lord leading you to be a part of it, you can do so at give.wol.org/aaberner. Thank you all for your encouragement, support & prayers throughout this journey. I am so thankful to the Lord for you!

Camps Near & Far

Image
It’s been a while since our last update and so much has happened since we arrived back from furlough. Thato took a trip to Zimbabwe to help with some camps alongside the WOL Zim team, we assisted with our church’s Holiday Bible Club (VBS) as well as a winter camp alongside one of the churches we partner with in the East Rand.    Our team also continued with our annual camps happening at Potchefstroom (True Word Bible Church) and Mozambique (Trichardt School). The biggest thing that has happened over these past few months though it that we welcomed our third baby girl, Aliyah Mphonyana (translated ‘little gift’ in Sotho) 3 weeks early. We are thankful for the smooth delivery of our sweet Aliyah on Thato’s birthday (June 4) The pastors cooking for the campers Zimbabwe I had a privilege to go to Zimbabwe after coming back from furlough to help teach at camp. The trip was great ias we were able to meet with Pastors and have fellowship with them as well as teach the word of God to ...

There & Back Again

Image
It's been a month now since we returned to South Africa and have been settling back into a normal rhythm. We are so thankful for the time we had on furlough to reconnect with friends, family and supporters. It really was such an encouraging time and though it was quite busy with lots of traveling, it was also refreshing. We started out our time with some downtime with our family over the Christmas holidays. It was a wonderful and special time especially since it was the last time we were able to spend with Ashley's Pop Pop before he went home to be with the Lord in March.  We officially began our furlough the first week of January as we caught up with friends and supporters and shared in churches in Abaco, Spanish Wells and Nassau (3 different islands). We were so overwhelmed by the love, generosity and care we felt as we visited with different people and churches. It was also encouraging to see God at work in each person's life and their own spheres. Our time in the US was...

Weeping & Rejoicing

Image
The Lord gives & the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. This last month has held some really high highs and some really low lows. There has been weeping and rejoicing. But through it all, we continue to say through tears and smiles, "blessed be the name of the Lord". Just a few weeks ago, Thato and I joyfully received the news that in less than 7 months, we would become parents to our first baby. We were ecstatic and so thankful for this gift the Lord had given us. However, the excitement was short lived. Just 5 days after discovering I was pregnant, we were told by the doctor that we had a miscarriage. Though we had only known about the pregnancy for less than a week, we were devastated to hear that we had lost our baby. We struggled to understand exactly why the Lord had allowed this but we continued to trust that He is good and faithful and that he would use it for our good and His glory. Our hearts still hurt but we are thankful for the Lord's lo...
