Franshoek 1 week

Franshoek 1 week:

This week again our team was split up into houses, but we worked at one church. This church had staff that were ex-prisoners. Franshoek is HOT wowww you walk out and feel like your skin is burning off. Its not by the ocean so there was not much breeze, but thank goodness there were trees around the church to provide shade. I was reading through the book Crazy Love at this time, reading that and my new appreciation for life and Gods beauty created a whole new level of spirituality for me. I would talk about Jesus and remember what he did for me and I would start to get choked up with emotions. Prayer was a huge part of this week for me, ministry was a bit slow and communication wow it was horrible hahah but its ok we worked with it. The coolest thing we did was visit the Franshoek maximum security prison. Man it was so cool, we went their twice, the first time we just visited. Hahaha if you want to know more about it you can ask. Each section had a different atmosphere, this prison was doing a lot of cool things to get the guys out of their former life onto something new. God played a huge role in this prison with how they dealt with things, there was even one section that had a room of 27 guys that were Christians. This prison gives them all opportunities to hold church services, every day they do worship, its really cool. Not every guy at that prison is a Christian, but its a huge influence around them. God is really moving. I am pen pals with one of the guys in the prison hahah these guys are funny seriously.

This was the only week I had a problem with my tattoo and my nose ring. I had to take my nose ring out, and cover my tattoo a lot of the time which was a bust because of the heat. But its all good, I was able to do that.

I also felt very blessed this week, on Sunday the pastor of the church brought Lillian and I up and had the congregation wash our feet. It was so humbling, he then spoke blessings over us, he told me that I will be telling America what is happening here. Which guess what doors are opening left and right for me to speak at churches in MN, Oklahoma and Arkansas, God is so faithful.
