Hello friends.
This will be my last update for this year. It's been a great and challenging year for sure, but that's why I can say it was only by His grace that I made it.

I have just finished the Children At Risk School (CAR), an extremely amazing and helpful YWAM school. Over the last three months, I learnt a lot about children at risk and how to help them. This is valuable information to know as I'm planing to build a children centre back home, which I am so excited about, because it's big and
crazy. Now the school is done, I will be leading outreach teams from overseas, whilst I spend time with Father God, planning what to do towards the vision He has put on my heart.

If you want to know more about the centre, I made a short 5 minute clip with pictures to give you an overview, which couldn't post because of internet but will follow. basically the clip provides a little bit of background of life back home and an overview of how life is like for the children there and how the centre will benefit them and their families.
I have already got land, so I'm off to a good start, and doing the school has given me the tools to build an effective team, to get the community involved and how to fund raise. I have located it purposely in the area in which I grew up as I already have a good reputation with the people in the community, which is good and I know how things work, what will work and won't.
This is too big for me and challenging in every way, but with God's word I am convinced that its possible. In Him my strength, courage and confidence lies. It will require a lot of finances and still praying about how to raise the money, trusting in and being fully dependent on God, not relying on myself or other people. Still I'm reminded that many times God provides through people, because He partners with His sons and daughters to meet one another's needs through love and sacrifices to see His will done.
It's hard sending out newsletters asking people for money, friends who are employed and have been given grace financial who generously support the work God has called me to in full-time missions work. It needs a lot perseverance and patience, often making your requests known with no assurance that someone will respond. Praying and being dependent on God, believing in His promises to provide and always going to Him asking Him how to do it, not stressing and asking why the money is not coming in.





I wish I wouldn't even have to write about money so much, but it's a necessary part of life. I have to swallow my pride and to ask people to pray about helping me financially. Asking, not with an orphan heart, but knowing that I am a son of the King of the World, that He responds when we call and lay out our needs. He's always listening.


Please keep me in your prayers;

1) As I plan to host overseas teams, please stand with me in prayer for the teams
that are coming and that we will work together effectively.
2) Pray for finances to come in. I was challenged to take all my monthly support for January to cover all my school fees. This means that I'm trusting God for my rent and food for the beginning of next year. Also, that God will continue to open doors in that part of my life as I continue do His work.

3) I may be going to Germany again to help in a farm and raise funds for the Children's Centre, this is not confirmed yet, so please be praying for me in that.
4) I have my driving test on the begging of February needs to continue to take driving lessons, which is 13 euros per hour. If you can help me out that would be awesome or let me practice in your car if you are around.
Thanks for your support and love throughout this year. Thank you for continuing to support me this year in your thoughts and prayers, you are a great blessing to me.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
THANK YOU and God bless!!!

Lunathi.
