farming at Bethany ARP after morning worship while eating pastries after sing- ing psalms with brothers and sisters at Windhoek Reformed Church. Hearing about water rights, raising enough hay for the winter, and dealings with gov- ernmental red tape gave me peace and told me much again about the smallness of the world in which we live. There was also an opportunity to


renew friendships with ministers (Jack Van Eyk) who used to serve in the ARP as well as listen and learn much about the way of the truth in India and Ma- laysia. I know I have personally had the chance since we returned to zoom with fellow ministers from around the world as we pray with one another and en- courage one another in Christ Jesus, our common Lord. Truly we are one faith, one baptism united together in common cause to see the nations covenant them- selves to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and men and women come to know Christ as their redeemer. In closing, I invite you to take a mo- ment and lift up these men as they serve in their local communions. I welcome you to pray for the growth of the gos- pel kingdom and especially for the ARP that through these times of fellowship, we likely might learn much from our re- lations in Malaysia, India, and Scotland about what it means to submit in love to the providence of God and see what it means to preserver in hope for the fu- ture of the Church.
