We did some different things in Durban than we are used to. Most of the time I spent building 45 beds for orphans. This is about half of the beds they needs for the orphanage. I found out that by having us make beds instead of professionals (although Mark is a professional carpenter) Missions Ablaze saved 50,000 rand (about $6250). We also went a few days to help with the feeding ministry they have. They feed about 500 people each day, half a loaf of bread and soup.
I got to plane the boards for the beds
Then they were sanded
Then assembled

Stacks of beds
