Growth Opportunities
Our trip to South Africa took almost a full day, including 16 hours in the air from Atlanta to Johannesburg. After flying across the Atlantic all night, the first view of the African continent was an amazing moment. Beautiful clear views of the Namibian coastline gave way to the arid Kalahari Desert. After a tense moment at the customs desk (the consulate in New York had misdated my visa as expiring in May 2021), we rechecked our bags and boarded our connecting flight to Durban where we were greeted by brothers Barry van Heerden and James Kapassa.
Kingdom Kids
On August 14, we hosted a “Kingdom Kids” picnic for the ecclesial members in the Cape Town area. The picnic was outdoors to ensure good ventilation, and to comply with Covid restrictions. We had a fun filled day of fellowship with the Sunday school children and our brothers and sisters. As summer is approaching here, we are, if the Lord wills, going to host more of these events to encourage our brothers and sisters to meet and enjoy fellowship.
Infinite Wisdom
Close to our house is an informal settlement called “Wolwe” (the Afrikaans word for ‘Wolves’) and another low income housing estate called Green Village, both of which are very poor. God willing, we will be running a soup kitchen at these two locations and simultaneously have the mobile BEC set up there to both feed people physically and spiritually.
