We're Here!

We made it to South Africa! We landed Sunday morning at 8:00 am after traveling for 25 hours! We were very tired, but excited to be here.

We got to tour around Paarl, South Paarl, and Mbekweni. It was very eye opening to us to see the rich communities and how by just going a few miles we were in the poor parts of town.

We are fortunate enough to get to work with a group of Africans called the Dream Team. They all have rough pasts, but after receiving the Lord, turned their lives around and want to influence the youth. We are going to be teaching with them at 2 primary schools 4 days.

We had quite an adventure today because the teachers at the schools went on strike, and some of us were mentally drained with having all of the children for 4 hours! We were supposed to only have been there to teach one lesson 4 times, so it took a lot to change our plans! Please pray that the team gets strength as we are all very jetlagged and super tired. Also, please pray for the people that we will be in contact with; that they will have open hearts to receive God's love and that we have open hearts to receive them. God bless!
