Hallo to you my Friends from all over the world,

God is good and very much in control and I love Him for that! Our son Hano - one of the twins - got married to Lorraine and I am a mother-in-love - not a mother-in-law.!!!! She is from Scotland - where they met not long ago. They fell in love and I loved her from the moment he told me about her. We only saw pictures of her until 2 weeks ago when she arrived here in South Africa! It was as if she has been part of this family all along. What is so wonderful - is that I have prayed for a girl like her - since he was a little boy - but I got more - they are so right for each other. It was celebration from the day she arrived - like those Biblical weddings where it went on for days on end. She did so well meeting all these new people - needless to say - they all adored her.

They got married on 07-07-2007 - Such a significant date and number of perfection. The Lords blessing was upon them and will continue to be. They had a few meetings with past. Vic O'Kelly - which they both thoroughly enjoyed - they could not wait to meet with him. He understood them and led them to understand the earnestness of holy matrimony. The way he married them - touched every heart present. The groom and his twin brother Nicolaas were dress very smartly in kilts!!!!! Just for her. My husband Danie brought her into the church as her father passed away when she was still small. Her dear Mamma - Margaret could not make it to South Africa. She will see it all on DVD. Lorraine looked absolutely radiant and so beautiful. She walked up to Hano - did not even noticed that they were wearing kilts - she only had eyes for him. Then when she touched his arm - she realized that it felt like the jacket of a kilt!!! It was so special. Hanel our daughter was bridesmaid and looked stunning. So many came up to me and said they have never been to such an anointed wedding ceremony. It was fun yet with such reverence. When I sang to them while they exchanged rings - I had to be strong not to cry and mess up the song. I so much enjoyed singing to my son and daughter - that I did not feel like crying but rejoicing!

The reception was small - intimate and so sincere. Hano's speech was excellent - from his heart. He was emotional - but he had the attention of each and everyone - even the camera and video men had tears in their eyes and one of them came up to Hano and said: I thought you were an introvert - but after hearing your speech - all I can say is "I have great respect for you."
For the rest of the evening - we had fun and nobody seemed in any hurry to go home. Oh yes and our Father God gave them a beautiful day - we had rain in the morning and in the evening after the function. What a blessing!!!

Now a little bit about my singing and ministry. I received an invitation to Brazil a few days ago - and I knew it was right for me to go and my dear friend Cellia - just e-mailed me as well - asking when I will be back in Brazil. I will be away from the 14th August - 27 August; Then in Oct from the 4th - 25th October - I will be ministering at a ladies conference in Carlsbad - New Mexico, at past. John and Liz Burke's church. I am so excited about that - we have been working on that for long. It will be my 4th time in Carlsbad. Strange places God can send us to - not so? I love it. Then on to the East Coast Washington DC and surroundings. I always look forward going there - I love my people (family) there. They mean more to me than they will ever know.

I thought I will be back in Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles this year but so far it does not look like it will be possible. My heart will be there though. Please friends - continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the people living in Israel - that they may become aware of the Hand of God in their lives and in their land. Pray for the opening of their spiritual eyes - which they may begin to see that He is their only Hope - their HATIKVA.

Blessings on your days my dear friends - I bless you for reading my letters and for being interested in what God is doing in and through our lives.

Love in Christ Jesus our Messiah,

Hanli
