So good to have Internet tonight-we really missed not being able to tell you about our day yesterday. Thursday was another beautiful, sunny day around 85. Julius, Wanda and Mona walked to an orphanage and to a creche(daycare). The boys from the orphanage were all at school but we had a good visit with the staff there. The creche was a delight to us all. There we met Daisy, her mom and 2 sisters who run the creche. The children were adorable of course and there Daisy had taught them songs about Jesus which they were delighted to share with us! Mona demonstrated the Gospel silly bands with the children and then we just played with them. We tried to play Duck, Duck, Goose with them but they didn't get the concept that there is only One goose so they all tackled Wanda(see photo!).
Dave, Keith and Cliff again prayerwalked in the city and met and shared with many different folks in the city. That afternoon we all met up with some of the members of Victory Baptist and prayerwalked in Gerhardsville. If you can imagine picking up and dropping a house from Paradise Valley into a countryside setting that is exactly what we saw! What a contrast-but again many people seemed excited to come to the open air service there at the Gerhardsville Market on Sunday morning.
Today (Friday) was a wonderful day of relaxation after a thrilling, busy and exhausting week of evangelizing and praying in Pretoria. We visited Pilanisburg Game Park with Cliff, Bev, Julius and Cyntia. Bev packed us a breakfast of muffins, coffee and juice(we left at 6AM!) and then a wonderful lunch. Today started off rainy and cool, which we loved because the animals seemed to be moving about a little more. Only 5 minutes or so after entering the park we saw two white rhino only about 100 ft from our van! We also saw an elephant, hippos, giraffes, zebra (pronounced like Deborah), wilde beast, springbok, and many others. The day did clear up for our picnic and we got some good photos in the park.A truly amazing God created so many wonderful things for us to see and enjoy!
Some of our prayer requests for this weekend:
- Our time of evangelism training at Victory Baptist Church Sat. morning will be easily received by these faithful church members. That Mona, Wanda and Dave will have enough to keep the kids that come busy.
- The open air service held in Laudium town square Sat @ 3pm. Protection for the Hindu lady shopkeeper supplying our electricity. She has been threatened by some of the Muslims in the area for providing it for us. That people will hear the Truth and souls will come to Christ. Julius is preaching-pray for him as well.
- Our service in Gerhardsville(where we prayerwalked Thurs. afternoon). It is open air at 9AM. Then the 3PM worship service at Victory Baptist Church.Julius will be preaching both of those as well.
