Grace.....!

This is Grace Tart and she is the delightful new evidence of God’s grace in Ben and Leonie’s lives!!!! (You can read more about her on Ben and Leonie’s blog – there is a link to their blog from ours.)

Leonie delayed her return to Ballina for the birth for as long as she could and still be allowed to fly on the Airlines, and Ben followed five weeks later and thankfully made it in time to be there for Grace’s arrival!

We are so grateful that three weeks later, Leonie and Ben both felt God leading them for Ben to come back here to Lapoc to finish up Jubab’s Year 8 school year. We know it is a huge personal cost for them and we just praise God for them and their willingness to serve. It has been a huge blessing to have Ben back here at this time and Jubab’s school year is almost finished.

Please pray for Ben as he endures the loneliness and the hardship of isolation and as he spends this time here away from his two beloved girls. Pray for a safe journey for him as well on his return trip to Aussie in a couple of weeks.  

They plan on returning in January for the new school year and we can’t wait to meet Grace!
