News from SA

Hey everyone!! We FINALLY made it in last night and are all doing great! After taking trains, planes, vans, and automobiles :o) we arrived to hot and humid temps...a nice relief after battling the blizzard in DC! We are just SO thankful for all the many many ways we have already seen God providing for us, each day! We thank Him for the wisdom about our travel plans and all the ways He made a way for us. We are learning that problems can be just opportunities in disguise and that we are to "Make the most of every opportunity" (Col. 4.2 i think)...already had some great converations with people on the planes and at the airports about Jesus!

Today we are heading out to Noorsberg to spend the day with children at the orphanage there. We are planning to bring them the cleats we collected from our churches, because they have a soccer team that is just starting up! We are going their with the youth from Westfield Baptist Church (Deb and Barry's church for those of you who know them) and are excited to go!!!We have a great schedule planned, with 3 church services tomorrow! One of the Zulu churches we are preaching, sharing testimonies and running the kids program, so please be praying for the students as they prepare for that.Thanks for all your prayers and we will blog again when we can!

Peace,
SA Team
