Update!
Good Morning!
I am sorry for the late update... we've been running so fast, I haven't had a moment to spare! But here I am, ready to bring you up to speed!!
We arrived here late Saturday night- with all of our luggage! Our trip was good- a little rushed (had to run to catch our flight in Johannesburg- but we made it!!)Sunday we went to church here at Midlands Christian Centre and then had a day of much needed rest!
Monday brought a visit to Ntabamhlope to visit with some of the Hearts of Compassion families to deliver some food, clothes and prayer. Four young moms joined our family in accepting Christ. Please pray for them to stand firm in their faith and for them to continue to grow in Christ.
Tuesday we spoke at two public schools (Ron, Jennifer R and Debbie did a great job!)and got to play with some preschoolers in Wembezi at the Fountain of Life Preschool.
Tuesday afternoon we went to Ikhaya Lethu Orphanage, where we stayed for 2 days. We played with the kids (crafts, singing, wrestling, picture taking, and all sorts of wild and crazy things)prayed for and pampered the house moms and melted in the heat!! The boys did some repair work around the houses that Noel needed done. We returned Thursday evening to join the church for their home groups.
Today is Friday and Ritch is speaking at the Christian school here at the church and then we are off to do some hut visits. This evening will bring Youth Group here at the church.
Pray for us this weekend as we will be doing the reading glass clinic out in the Dalton Bridge community- we will have the opportunity to share with a lot of people- so please pray!!
Things are going really well- we are all healthy and happy and feeling very blessed!
Thank you for your prayers!

We're here!
Just a quick update- this is from my phone- all is well! We have already seen some amazing things- talked to 1500 elementary students, led four young moms to Jesus and now we are here at Ikhaya Lethu Orphanage for today and part of tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able post a full report.
Our love to all!
Our love to all!
