Glory to God, as He is faithful and He answers prayer.  Since the 15th of July we have had a place we can call 'our house.'  After a 17 month wait, Marielle can now decorate the 'home of her own.'  During our trip to Canada, one of our concerns was 'Where are we going to live when we return to Congo?'  In fact, we had to check to see if the place where we had previously stayed was available, as a large team from Canada had requisitioned all the space.  You might remember that during the same period last year we had to live at the Bible College for two months, working, eating and sleeping at my office. 
 
To our great surprise, a house became free while we were in Canada.  An American missionary had been living there, but is now in Kinshasa.  Another couple was supposed to take the place, but due to circumstances only God could have orchestrated, they found a house elsewhere.  Besides that, we were supposed to have returned to Congo on July 14th but were delayed 20 kilometres from the border for two hours because of a flat tire.  We were forced to stay in Zambia for the night because the border closes at 6:00 PM.  This delay allowed the place to become free for us.  Thanks to all of you who prayed for this request.  
 
Here are some photos.  Welcome to our home.
