PUPPETS AND MORE!
"Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so." This is truth we have been blessed to know since childhood. The boys and girls of Botswana need to know as well. Currently there is very minimal outreach and ministry to children. The generous donation from the Iowa Girl's Ministries, Junior Bible Quiz (JBQ) and Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge (BGMC) will help us bring the good news to the kids! They have provided a large puppet stage, puppets, curriculum, balloons, a sound system, and a JBQ quiz box and materials. All of these kid-friendly tools will be used to evangelize and disciple children.
Paul writes in Philippians 4, "Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account." This is true for everyone, children and adults, who gave for this project. Not only do you help win children to the Lord but God is taking notice and writing down the investment in His book for eternity. There isn't a stock market, tax, or government that will ever take that away! THANK YOU for giving to the Lord!

THE HOME STRETCH
In our last E-VIEW we asked you to pray that we would be at 80% of our support by July 1. We came close at 78%! We praise the Lord for providing the resources and key appointments. He has been so faithful! (Should we be surprised?)
The better news is that we are now past the 80% mark meaning we have less than 20% of our monthly budget left to raise and are very excited! Our new goal is to be at 100% by August 31st. Will you pray and believe with us that this will happen? Ask specifically for divine appointments with those the Lord wants to join our team. If you do not currently support us but the Lord is leading you to do so, now is the time to respond! You can either email us and we'll send you a pledge form or you can go online at vanwykfamily.org and click on the "Support the Van Wyk's" tab. Thank you for following His direction!

When are we leaving? 
We had communicated with you that when we reached the 80% mark we could order tickets and set a date for departure. Apparently we had wrong information as our itineration specialist informed us that we cannot set a date until we have 100% support. If we can be at 100% by August 31st we will be able to leave in late September. Please pray for the Lord's timing. We need wisdom to know how to handle a myriad of details as we work through this time of transition!
