We were blessed to top off an intense month of ministry with a weekend at the wild coast – a beautiful, remote, unspoiled piece of Africa. Our leader Anna-Marie claims it as her favorite place in the world, and it’s not hard to see why.
Rolling green hills, dotted with the occasional Xhosa hut (all painted turquoise, for some unknown reason). The wide expanse of sky, which dives into the brilliant blue Indian ocean. Wandering herds of sheep, galloping horses running free, whales breaching off the coast. It was the perfect place to meet God and thank Him for the great work He’s done through us this month.
The highlight was a daylong hike from our camp to “Hole in the Wall”, a natural formation. We hiked along the ocean cliffs, with spectacular views all around. We probably saw at least 8 different whales,
blowing their spouts and slapping their tails into the water.
Many times, we would crest the next hill only to stop in wonder and absorb the beauty. What joy to think that the creator of this magnificent beauty, He is the one who designed us, cares for us, is preparing a place for us in heaven. The glory of His creation truly knows no bounds.
“May the glory of the Lord endure forever.”
