Week 4

Hello everyone!

Time is passing as we spend our time here in Parow in Cape Town, SA. The Thailand team made it here safe and sound on Wednesday and I was able to go and pick them up! Horray for seeing sisters!

Ministry has been good, kinda slow this past week but what we did do was really good. We held our first Cottage meeting on Tuesday where all the students planned and orchestrated it all, it all went really well! Thailand team came Wed, Thurs was the feeding program. Feeding and praying for the homeless is tough work. They are all incredibly drunk, although they were better than the week before, but still pretty bad. We prayed for all of them that the strongholds would be broken and they would start looking to the Lord. It's hard because they all have all this self-pitty for themselves and don't think life can be any better. Then on Friday we had the open-air and youth group. Saturday was a nervous day because we did the train ministry. We got on an played the guitar and sang worship songs into the city and then walked around and then found a spot and did more worship and prayer. Then we decided to go treasure hunting (that's where we pray for a person to talk to that needs prayer or encouragement). All went really well. Sunday was church, also good. It was the pre-Christmas service that was being recorded for Channel 1 and will be broadcasted all over the world. And then today we tried going to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was kept but weren't able to because we didn't have a reservation. Instead some of us went to the aquarium (and some to the beach). It was super fun!

This week we are doing a VBS type program so we will be super busy!

Oh and three of us got head lice from the kids in Thailand...yes even me eventhough I didn't go to Thailand.

Keep sending the prayers. No new prayer requests!
