What an amazing fist full day of ministry we have had. We settled nicely into the B& B after our long flight. After some orientation with Roger in the morning, we heaed out to visitt th black township of Burlington. One of our New England congregations has graciously supported 12 children to go toschool this year. Our grls shared testimonies at the youth meeting, and then were surprised by a dance presentation by some of the Zulu youth. lots of drums & excited dances!
In the evening, we divided into 3 small groups & visited 3 different youth groups around the city. Ben D & Lia shared at Missionary Baptist in Sydenham at Sizwe & Zuki's church. We will be worshipping with this church on Sunday & painting with them later in the week. Topher, Janice & Ben A went to Phoenix Baptist & took part in their youth time as well. This is an Indian church that we have made connections with in past trips. Kevin, Melissa & Susie visited with a very new youth group (only their 3rd mtg.) at Lambert Road Church. Theirs is a mixed youth group involving students from their community. By the end of the night the 3 smaller groups joined together at Lambert Road and helped teach "round-robin" table tennis! We will also be painting the youth room with Lambert Road later this week, hoping to build more connections with Gareth & Michelle, the new pastoral couple & their youth.
