Leaving for South Africa
This evening we—my wife Judi and I—leave for Johannesburg, South Africa, to spend two weeks
- helping to build an additional building for the orphanage we visited last year;
- teaching “Vacation Bible School” (our term—in SA, it's called “Holiday Clubs”, falling as it does during the winter break) to somewhere between 7 and 300(?) kids in the community of Ivory Park, where the Tumelo Home is;
- arousing the interest of people in good news about the Servant King, Jesus, by drama and word (and possibly more free medical care: we have three nurses with us).
We need prayer for
- unity: we are all strong leaders, and serving one another requires a great work of Christ and His Spirit in our hearts;
- safety: Johannesburg is the crime capital of the galaxy;
- love: for each other and for those we hope to reach.
More as the trip progresses.
