Cape Town 1 Week

Kales River Cape Town 1 week:

FARM FARM FARMMM, haha this week man. There are too many stories about this week. To sum it up we stayed in a church on a farm, we slept on the floor and only a couple days did we get something to sleep on. The kitchen smelled and was so dirty. I ended up cleaning that kitchen from top to bottom, I could not believe the food that was in that fridge. We did not eat much at this place. But the location was beautiful, the church had a huge porch that I sat on every night and watched the sunset. We worked with a woman who finished her DTS a couple years ago. Her house was close so we went to her house a couple times. One point in the week the pastor got super mad at us for not being clean enough, to the point where he wanted nothing to do with us anymore. It was strange, and it made us all very frustrated that someone would judge our ability to minister on our cleanliness. It was a wake up call though because in order for God to get to us that our team still was having problems with each other he had to stop everything. It was a bittersweet week for us, our team fixed all our problems, we had LOTS of long meetings but lots of healing as well.

The pastor was very unsettling for me, every time he was around I just ehh felt creeped out. I woke up with bruises and at one point with blood on my eye and back, not a lot just like something scratched me. The place was a bit ehh not right. The youth that went to the church were not even Christians which to me was a sign that something was not right. A church should be a place that encourages everyone, that creates a desire for people to follow God and live like him. Its ok though, we prayed a lot for the place, God will work it out. Its in his hands.
