Greetings from Chad,
As the Director of the
Chad Branch, I would like to thank you for your part in
sending Henk and Margreet to contribute to the work here
with SIL Chad. Yesterday I saw a list of all the jobs that
they accomplished and I was truly amazed. Their willingness to
travel and to help as needed was a great blessing to us. I’ve
included a word from one of our regional coordinators below
which highlights some of the ways that the DenOudsten’s
contributed during their stay with us.
Thank
you once again for helping to make it possible for Henk and
Margreet to come to Chad!

It was a great blessing to have
the Den Oudstens here and we are very grateful to them for
coming, and to their church and friends in Canada who
helped make it possible for them to be here.
Our work in
the Guera SIL team involves Bible translation, oral Bible
storying and literacy work in multiple languages (literacy
now in almost 20 languages). Our SIL team is very
busy, and now consists mostly of single women who are not
all of them very gifted in construction and maintenance (to
say the least!).
So the visit of someone like the
Denoudstens is a huge blessing.
The main task they carried
out here was moving the water tower in the main house at
our SIL base in Mongo, which was a major task.
They also
did some electrical work in the office, and installed a
ceiling in my house. As temperatures in Mongo can reach 45-50
degC in the hot season, I am very grateful to have a ceiling
to keep my house a little bit cooler during hot season.
