South Africa: Sunday February 21st - Church

 Just a quick update as we are going to bed and getting up at 4 AM to go to a game reserve. We'd love to see a rhino!

Today was awesome. We had church here at the Midlands church. We then did the service at Dalton Bridge with the Zulus. Most are grannies raising grandkids. We did bible stories on forgiveness to follow up on yesterdays time there. Kathy told the story of the adultrous woman who was going to be stoned, Rich did the parable of the servant who did not forgive another servant though he had been forgiven, Patty did the sinful woman Jesus forgave and Joanne did the story of Joseph. Guy did the story of the prodical son. Tom facilitated questions and it was great to see them participate - something they don't usually do. Twila, Mike, Jenny and Debby did cross necklace crafts with the kids. We had lots of song and dancing around the room. We were thanked for loving them as no whites had ever done and making them feel accepted for who they are. I can't tell you the amount of love we felt and the tears shed in absolute joy.

The high point of the day was seeing Bevie train a 30 year old blind man how to use a cane. He's been blind for a year from meningitis and felt so hopeless. He learned quickly. Bevie shared with him the love of the Lord and he accepted Jesus as his savior! What an awesome thing to witness. He also has a lot of hearing loss. We prayed for healing. Please pray for this young man as well - for healing

We had dinner at Shacks and much fun and laughter and good food. For those who have been here before we had simosas!! Na Na NaNaNaNa!!
