One year ago, Nichole and I were discussing where we would like to live in the United States. Most of our decisions were based on comfort, recreation and what we like to call the “cookie cutter” lifestyle. We never felt peace about any place that we discussed. One evening at church we heard stories of atrocities happening in Africa and we became acutely aware of our self-centered thinking. That is when I penciled these words into my Bible and showed them to Nichole.
Let justice flow like a river… There are atrocities happening all over the world and I am trying to figure out how to move to a more comfortable state…
Africa Lord???
That night we prayed and discussed what we should do. With a mixture of feelings, past experiences and a gentle nudge from God we decided to move to South Africa and explore ways to serve Him there.
The rest is history… As we have told many of you it was like the red seas parted after we made that decision. God brought us to Africa. Praise God.

Hey Guys,
Great to hear from you. Just got your letter today and placed your “site” in my favorites. Your video from Vicoria Falls brought back memories of our trip in 1996. It’s amazing isn’t it!
Keep up the good fight. We’ll try to help again. Hope to see you soon.
Blessings,
Linda & Danny Thursby
