God Always Provides: Transformational Faith Anchors Every Need

God has faithfully led us through every season of our ministry in Botswana. We are filled with gratitude. We want to share that on Friday, November 13, 2025, we submitted our applications for permanent residence. We have lived and served in Botswana since July 2014. That’s over eleven years. We have relied on faith-based support since March 2012. This means more than thirteen years. The Lord has provided every step of the way. He has met our needs, opened doors, and confirmed His call to serve among the people of this beautiful nation. During this time, Botswana has graciously granted us three work and residence permits. Each time we submitted our applications, we prayed. We trusted that God would supply again. Every single time He did. He approved our first application for three years and our second and third applications for five years each. Now we have taken the next step of faith: we have applied to become permanent residents of Botswana. This moment reminds us once more that God always provides for those He calls.

We are deeply thankful for seven letters from Batswana pastors and friends who have walked with us through the years. They have seen our lives up close, watched our ministry grow, and shared in both our joys and challenges. They know our hearts and our love for the Lord and His people. Their letters affirm that we are people who can help guide the nation toward true prosperity. This is a prosperity that comes only through Jesus Christ. Their words humble us and encourage us. They remind us that our labor is not in vain. God’s work through us is bearing fruit that lasts. We thank Him for allowing us to serve among people who have become our family and partners in the gospel.

Letta Dipatane is a cherished friend whose life has blessed ours for the past eleven years. We have known her longer than anyone else in Botswana. She wrote a letter supporting our permanent residence applications. She did this with joy and faithfulness. This act reflects her love for God’s work and her trust in our ministry.

God is Jehovah Jireh, our faithful provider. Just as He provided for Abraham on Mount Moriah, He continues to supply for His people today. He sees every need before we do and supplies it in His perfect time and way. He provides hope when the path feels uncertain, strength when we feel weak, and provision when the need feels great. We are waiting 12 to 18 months for our applications to be reviewed. During this period, we rely on His promise. He will supply everything needed for His work. “So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Supply. And to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the Lord it will be given’” (Genesis 22:14). Jehovah Jireh continues to give for every heart that trusts in Him.
