South Africa: Monday February 15th - Hut to Hut and Heart to Heart

Sawubona from South Africa.
The team split into two groups today. One team went with Erlo and the other with Deli and Eugene. Erlo and Deli lead Hearts of Compassion outreach ministry and speak Zulu (easy for Deli because she is Zulu :). We worked with them to distribute food and a message of hope along with prayer and some gifts we brought with us. The cross pennies and gospel message beads that Guy brought were a big hit! We had a young man and his sister in law pray to receive Christ today. Halleluja! That makes everything coming here worth it all by itself but we just begun. We shared the gospel with lots of neighbors that seemed to just show up to find out what was happening at one house Hearts of Compassion supports with food. Jennifer and JoAnn utilized the avangecube to tell the story of Jesus to all of them with translation by Erlo (along with lots of zulu dialogue that he interjects to make it clear). Our 15 year old missionary Twyla Hawley shared some scripture at one of the huts and everyone was impressed with her bravery at such a young age. We ate lunch very late today but sat on a hill overlooking the community while we ate and were able to pray for more hearts to be opened and the continued blessing and effectiveness of the ministry there. Tomorrow we go to one of the High Schools before going back out for more hut to hut ministry. Keep praying for what is happening here. It helps tremendously and we do feel you with us.
More tomorrow. Have a great day in the Lord.
