Thank you all again for your many prayers over the weekend. Things went extremely well throughout the day on Sunday. Pastor Rory and Christa made it safely to Hamanskraal and had a great time worshiping with the believers at Strongtower Baptist Church in Kekana Gardens.
I praise the Lord for another great Lord’s Day at Trinity Baptist. Our attendance has been soft with Team Africa gone and with many others traveling, but there has been a delightful spirit in the services these past two weeks.
I am looking forward to the return of Rory, Jeremy, and Regan. I feel like I have talked way too much. I think those who attend are ready for someone else too!
Thank you all for your prayers concerning our sleeping on the streets. No one slept great, but we were all safe, sound, and generally warm. We were up before the dawn (@ 5AM) Friday and headed home to catch a few minutes of comfortable sleep before everyone woke up. Friday was a day for the ladies of the group.
Things continue to be busy here in South Africa, although we have gotten some opportunities to catch up on our needed rest. On Monday we were able to visit some ministries in South Africa, a South African lady named Johanna has started both an old folks home and a home for AIDS/abandoned babies. Additionally, we were able to visit a day care run by a Christian woman and the Bethesda property.
We arrived in South Africa on Saturday, May 31 at 2:30pm (S. Africa time). The flight was long but went very smoothly, and we had no problems getting into the country (we actually suprised the Zaks with our quick trip through customs and getting our luggage). Thank you for your prayers for smooth and safe travel.
