Week 2 of outreach

Halo all!

Well, it's week 2 out outreach...actually we are ending the week so we are almost in week 3..horray!

Time here has been good. We are staying at the church Tabernacle of Praise and everyone has been so wonderful to us. Our days start each morning at 6am for prayer, then breakfast, tidy time, get ready for the day time, personal devotion time, worship and intercession, and then we help around the church, practice skits or songs, or prepare for an event like youth group or open-air. We have been really involved in working with the people who live in Leons Dale (the slums of Cape Town) and have been getting a good result. Everyone is very welcoming and have enjoyed us being there. The children have certainly taken a likeing to us!! When we leave they tell us that they will be dreaming of us and waiting for us to arrive the next day...even when we aren't scheduled to go. We have also been helping with a food drive where we had out food to people living on the streets and for the most part it's been really good. We prayed for one guy who had TB and isn't able to get up and when we were leaving he was sitting up and eating! Praise God!

Prayer requests: Safety: we aren't allowed outside at night. And we live in an area that there is still tention among races and we are certainly...the minority. Please pray that we are safe everywhere we go and while we are at the church. So far there haven't been any problems but it's always good to just have prayer! Health: just that we stay healthy...so far...so good. Also: that God would work through us. At times it seems like we aren't doing anything when we only go out once a day but pray that God will use us to our fullest extent.

Thank you for your continued prayers! I love you all!

Cheers!
