First two weeks of outreach...I believe God allowed for this time to be like a sieve,sifting us,preparing us for what lays ahead,but in right context,with all leaders around to help us,before moving on as 3 smaller teams...
Was sad to leave JBay because after 3 months JBay became home.However surprisingly Uitenhage is a wonderful,beautiful town situated in a valley with purple jacaranda trees even the poorest parts,are so neatly painted and clean,hard 4 me to believe there's crime,but I guess that's the difference between a city and a small town ...and the reception we have had so far has been warm,people feel like kuils river people :) and lastly this town is not windy:)
Day 1 was merely settling in,being hosted by the Anchor Family church.18 of us are sharing the future offices, house.and the boys sleep in the church,all our meals served there too.One of our girls testified sunday Last year December she clubbed there.This year Dec,she is ministering there...
Ministry wise,we have had open airs at 2 different locations.Also a kiddi's program and christmas party at Canary Street:) we had door to door,street,town evangelism.We also ministered at 4 churches,one youth group,2 businesses,and were blessed with basically a christmas lunch by a couple who take in and mother abandoned or struggling kids,and told me that this is one of her best days.She gives new meaning to the definition of blessed.Blessed to be blessing.
Also got to go to the board walk and beach and tomorrow to see animals...
So for now God has really been stretching me in the area of desperation for Him,and letting all else of me die.Intimacy with him,and lastly learning to trust fully and wait on the Lord.
In terms of others,when I wait God orchestrates the solution and even in ministry when I was super tired.He has come through...I am learning how to let him flow through me in the lives of others,but also draw close to him in the secret...
More maybe later.
