Christmas Letter

Seasonal greetings to you all my family in the USA.

Thus far our Lord has taken us to the end of this difficult year I have ever had. You know very well that Mainah had her worst year as for the first time she had been hospitalized for four months after having a healthier life for 52 years. The only time she had been in hospital was when she was giving birth to our seven children.

We thank God that she has gone through this and come out in a miraculous way. As the doctor in South Africa said when he saw her coming for a review, "you are a living miracle, you were dead when you came here, I did not think you will make it" Now Mainah is fine though she can still sense some bit of pain over chemotherapy and bracky therapy. She also lost her mother whilst in the process and our mother in USA "Daisy" all these were challenges.

Brother and sister in all this we are so thankful because you stood with us. There is no time where I needed your help and you were not there to assist. It was also a miracle for you to raise all the amount you raised and which was enough for the task that was before us. May the good Lord bless you richly. Now I have come to the end of the year with great relief that I owe nobody anything. Only what remains is to glorify the name of my Lord.

Brother and sister we now look forward for next year. My USA Visa expires in January 2009, I pray that I will be able to get another one as well as Mainah so that we may come there in March for ministry and also to thank God together with you for what He has done for us. Give my love to all my family members, Ilesha, Michael, Kelsy, Jonathan and Kara, Larry and Brenda. Also pass my love to all church member at Heights and all churches that support us.

My prayer for next challenges are as follows:My children are now at High School:-Bongani (20 years) is at University in Pretoria doing electronics Engineering and I need to pay US$12 000.00 and Nothando is doing her first year in High School, she will be attending a private school since the government schools have no teachers. At this school I will be paying
US$1 000.00 per term and there are three terms. This brings me to US$3 000.00. All this I just trust the Lord's provision. Thank you my beloved ones.

God bless you. Agrippa Dube
