Sawubona from South Africa! So sorry for not posting as often-- our internet access is limited to where we are staying & our days have been long! Here's a quick recap of some of our journey so far:
Saturday: We headed over to Noodsberg, a nearby orphanage, and played with the most adorable children in a small room to avoid the mist and rain. It was also amazing to partner with and make new friends with the Westville Baptist Church youth as we worked and played together. We played games, sang songs, told stories, while learning new games and South African slang! It was kiff bru! We saw contentment like never before in the smiles and laughter of the children.
After Noodsberg, we met Margot-- who coordinates a street ministry in downtown Durban. We walked the rainy streets, praying with people in shelters and talking to young boys in the most dire of circumstances.
I'm now being pressured to get offline! To be continued!!! And thank you for the encouraging posts and for praying!

Hey SA team! It's Ita's sister Abby! We are praying for you guys and rejoice at the privilege of serving such precious people as those in South Africa! Know that as you love on the 'least of these' you are serving Jesus Himself.
Ita, can't wait to hear stories of God at work not just there, but in your heart in this season.
Remember team, allow God to be glorified in your weaknesses. Let Him be made perfect in you as you totally depend on Him.
Prayerfully, Abby from House of Prayer
