We have arrived!

by Naomi Bothe | July 7, 2018 8:18 AM

We have arrived!  Everyone has settled in to their lodging for the week and had a hearty lunch (and birthday celebration!).  There were a few hiccups getting through customs, but everyone is in great spirits and ready to serve this week!  Today after orientation we are heading to Pastor Josiah's church to pray over the church, our week here, and the community.  We will have dinner with Pastor, then  call it an early night to rest up for the week ahead!

We have arrived!

Happy Birthday!

Praying over the week

Tonight at the church we were able to connect with old friends, pray over the church, the materials we will be using, and the community we will be serving in.

After a good nights rest we boarded our van and headed to church at Pastor Josiah's.

Preaching

by Naomi Bothe | July 8, 2018 11:34 AM

After an amazing worship service and performance by the youth, Pastor Mike was able to preach a sermon for everyone this morning!  Everyone at the church was very eager to hear from the team.  Throughout the week they will be holding special prayer services and revival services that others will also be able to share at.

Sunday School

While Pastor Mike was preaching, some of the others from the team headed out with the children to teach a special Sunday School.  It was so nice for the kids to see their old friends and meet new ones.  Some of the children were asking the team if they remembered them!  They are very excited for VBS this week.

Museum Visit

After an amazing church service, and a delicious lunch at the church, the team headed to the Apartheid Museum.  It was wonderful to spend a few hours learning more about the history of South Africa.

VBS began today, and as the day went on it only got bigger!  We had so much fun doing story, songs, crafts and games.

When it rains...

by Naomi Bothe | July 9, 2018 1:53 PM

The rain kept us from being able to do as much outside work as we had wanted today.  However, the team took advantage of that available time and used it to connect with each other, and with others at the church!

Revival Services

by Naomi Bothe | July 10, 2018 2:29 PM

Revival services are being held every night this week in a tent not far from the church.  Every night a few members of the team are going up front and sharing a message or testimony.  Keep the team in your prayers as we continue VBS, work at the church and ministry this week.

Today we got to visit the same children's home we were at 2 years ago!  It was amazing getting to deliver gifts, and love on the people there this afternoon.
