This month my team and I are here in Mokhotlong, Lesotho serving Harvesters Church. We are also teamed up with the Powerful Piñatas and what a time it has been thus far.
This has been my first month where I have served multiple ministries within the church. Reminds me so much of my home church with all the outreaches they do for the community. Come take a look at what the week looks like day by day.
On Monday and Thursday we may go to the near or far soup kitchen, share a word, share testimonies and help serve the food. We will hang around if anyone is asking for prayer. After cleaning up for the day we make our way back to the mission house. We use some time to also do ministry work around the house or the church if time allows.
On Tuesday and Friday we spend our days at the Harvesters school working around the garden, fixing up the fence, moving the playground or teaching the kids songs, games and bible stories.
On Wednesday we go to the Prison. We sit in the courtyard area as the prisoners come sit around. They share an African dance with us before we play a song and share a word with a few testimonies.
Saturday
Rest day. We may have time for adventure but most of the day we hang around at the mission house or take a stroll to get snacks at Shoprite.
Sunday
We attend church at one of the multiple church plants surrounding the village. One will give the word and two others will give part of their testimonies. This past weekend I was honored to share the word at the Sekoka church plant.
Daily
Through the two teams we have split into three groups of five. Each day of the week we have a group that will go to the hospital in the morning. Here we give the word to those at the clinic and then allow time for prayer.
In the late afternoon, daily, we have another group that will tend to the church garden. We gather the watering cans and shower the plants with water.
It has been a wonderful time this month thus far. Spiritually, I have been discerning to hear God’s voice. I’ve never slowed down enough to allow it to happen. Physically, we are living 10,000 ft up so this Kansas Girl is getting some strong lungs this month. Not to mention all the hills we get to climb, I mean, walk up! 🙂 Not sure if I’ll ever get enough of the views, the joy, and the African dance moves here in Mokhotlong, Lesotho. Here is the view when we step outside our house.
Much love.
