Swiss girl and more updates

Hi there,
it's been while... We had a Swiss girl working with us and is recently gone to the South island but is coming back in November.
She quietly became a believer and accepted Him into her life after I saw a gleaming sparkle in her eyes. She said yes it's true. I saw what you guys had and I wanted it too. I saw real genuine love.
Then we went to Australia and Marion stayed here looking after the dog and horses. One week before we were going to Aussie a man came up our drive asking about horse treks.( our sign) and then he told me he is an accomplished horseman, done riding , hunting and pony club and if I needed a hand with anything. He was happy to do this as a volunteer and he is retired.So I said" yes please". So with him and Marion it was good to know we could go and the horses were being looked after. He also happens to live 2 km down the road. He is 69 and really knows his stuff. He also has his HT licence.
Marj came even earlier. Marj is a beautiful Maori woman who loves God with all her heart. She first came here as a client riding with her grandsons. Then , miraculously, they moved to Kati Kati( they were in Te Puke before)
She is on the Horses4fun team as a christian member and a rider and as a prayer warrior.
We have people in the church that pray for the spiritual and physical needs of the Horses4fun team, our members are born again Christians and the would be members still need to get saved. But our other members that are on the mailing list( we have 178 members) are a mainly non Christians.

Recently I came back from Lakes Ranch after I joined their adult riding camp.( was at labour weekend) Picked up our 4 horses and now everyone is home. LakesRanch had used 4 of our very quiet beginner horses for their school holiday camp while I was away and also had our truck there. I had their verhicle so when I came back from Oz I just hopped in their car and drove to Lakes ranch( with Juliane) Juliane is our new German girl who is also very open to the gospel.
