Well, this was my last week at Mamelodi. After a lot of prayer we found out where we are going next semester. I will be going to Swaziland and I’m so excited about that. This coming Wednesday the Swazi team will be going to Swaziland for two weeks. Then we will come back to South Africa with everyone for a big Thanksgiving celebration. After that, we will all head to Jeffery’s Bay, South Africa for two weeks. We will then go back to Alabanza for some debrief and then go home for Christmas.
We have been doing programs with the kids at Mamelodi everyday based on different themes. For the past week however we just threw the themes out the window and stayed with the basics of the gospel. We just wanted these kids to hear clear truth as much as they could before we left. I have loved the opprotunities to proclaim the beauty of the gospel over these kids. The last day we threw them a huge party that was a blast. We did face painting, balloon animals, crafts, dancing, bubbles, and all kinds of stuff. It was great way to end our time there letting know the kids they are loved and valued beyond belief.
God has been teaching me so much about his love and victory over sin. I realize everyday more and more about the freedom that comes in his name. I am so honored to be used by such an amazing God. He is good.
I’m sorry this is short but the internet cafe was packed today and I’m running out of time. I love you all and pray for you constantly. I love getting comments and emails. It’s great to hear from home. Thank you for all your support.
Michelle- I am so excited to hear that you are going to be going to Swazi! God is going to use you in so many ways there just like He has used you in Mamelodi, playing with the kids and doing arts and crafts with them. I will keep you in my prayers as you get ready to go to Swazi!
Thanks for keeping us posted on what you are doing, Michelle. How exciting to get to work with these children in Mamelodi! I know that God will continue to use you greatly in Swaziland. May you continue to honor the Lord with you obedience and may the Holy Spirit go ahead of you and your team making hearts ready to receive the gospel. Love, Jan
