Newsletter December 2020

You may have only just read the previous newsletter and now you receive the next one! We do have a good reason for this letter.

Tickets are Booked!

Yep, you've read it correctly! We have booked the tickets for our return to Madagascar. Africa Inland Mission has good links with humanitarian organisations. One organisation flies on a weekly basis to Madagascar with relief aid. AIM has asked whether we can fly back to Madagascar with them. That was not a problem at all!

Yes! The relief flights depart from South Africa to Madagascar. So, after receiving confirmation, we still had to see how to get there. We were able to book a flight with KLM. At KLM we get a discount, because we are once again booked in as humanitarian workers.

When?

We hope to depart from Schiphol, Amsterdam on January the 8th and arrive on Madagascar on January the 9th at 13:00.

Financial

We are so happy we can go home! However we are now facing additional costs. Despite the fact that we can fly with discounts, we are still at least 3000 Euro short. Yet we believe that we should not let this deter us. We have confidence that this gap will also be closed. The work we are allowed to do on Madagascar would never have been possible without you and many others. We would like to ask you to along side us in prayer but also financially. Every gift is welcome and every gift is valuable! You will find more information about support at the bottom of this newsletter.

Nervously Exciting

For the time being, we do not expect flights to South Africa to be canceled. We want to trust the Lord in everything. Still, sometimes our emotions are running in every direction. That is why we hold tight to God's word: Psalm 55:22 “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” We very much appreciate your prayer.

Finally

We have kept this letter as short as possible. If you want to read more, you can go to our website where we go into more detail about all developments: https://www.jurgenenkatja.nl/en/vliegtickets-geboekt/

We wish you a very blessed Christmas and a prosperous 2021! Let us together look forward to what the Lord is going to do in 2021 "The one [God] who calls you is faithful, and he will do it." (1 Thess. 5:24).

Warm greetings,

Jurgen & Katja Hofmann
