Our first week of outreach was amazing. Many gave their hearts to God. We lead a very successful youth and kid program. We worked hard as we traveled from house to house ministering to the people. This week has been the same program, but last week we planted the seeds and now we are harvesting. We have a church service every night except for Saturdays and almost every night we have had people coming to the Lord, there has been revival, visions being released, demons have been taken out. God's touch and presence is so tangible during the services. These two weeks we have just been focusing on a certain area in Jbay that is around the AOG church because the church we work with is doing a conference. The vision is to transform the community in one day. So its been really cool. Our team for the first week was very united, we had a lot of fun. As this week has been going on more people on our team have been tired and weary. We are starting to realize how much we need to spend time with God BEFORE we go out to the community. We need to let God minister to us before we can minister to others. We had a sickness that went around our team during the week. We have had some attitude problems but what can you expect when there are so many personalities with each other. This is our last week in Jbay and then both teams will be heading out. The South African team will be going around on the Garden Route all by God's mercy, He has been providing everything thats been needed to make the travels so far and most of the places they are staying are giving them free stay and free food which is amazing. Their first stop if God wills is going to be Uitenhage for 1 week.
The Madagascar team continues to change, all we can do is praise God because one of the girls that is from South Africa will be joining the Madagascar team. God is just so cool because she had been praying about going to Madagascar for awhile now, and she had been on a couple of our hearts for awhile. So we got together and figured out how we could raise money for her. She has all her money for the South African outreach and so God ended up providing the rest for her which is amazing. She will now experience what it feels like to travel by plane, she will experience things that only come once in a life time which ahhh its so cool. I am also back on the South African team, I was called here in the beginning and so Dan spoke to me again and aksed if I really felt good about going to Madagascar. I stayed up all night in a tree haha just praying and I kept getting the song lyrics “where you lead me Lord I will follow, where you lead me Lord I will go.” Also when I was praying I realized that Madagascar is the comfortable place for me to go, I would be with people from baiscally the same culture, there would be good food, and organization. I know God did not call me half way across the world to stay in my comfort zone. So I let Veronique take my place on the Madagascar team, its just so amazing really. I am now so happy, I don't even mind if we stay in Jbay, because these past two weeks God has been opening my eyes to see how much THIS PLACE needs him, how much this place is broken and hungry for God. Where you lead me Lord I will follow. So yeah that is a little update. Continue to pray for attitudes and unity.
