Durban, South Africa
Throughout
our time in South Africa,
we have had a theme or feeding the hungry and spending time with orphans…this
month is no exception. I find myself in
the middle of a large undertaking with Ablaze Ministries in Durban, South Africa.
My
team and I are working extremely hard this month on a task of building 90 beds
for an orphanage that Ablaze Ministries is in the final stages of
building. I find myself excited to once
again be using power tools and a slightly mindless task (building 90 beds
includes a lot of repetition). Strong
back…weak mind…I kinda like it right now!
We are building the bed frames on the campus of Ablaze Ministries, a
quiet setting just outside of Durban.
Here
are some pictures of our time here…
I
know this was a short update, but for the truth, I’m fairly worn down at the
moment. I’ve LOVED my days in Africa,
and the lives that have been touched for the Kingdom of God
will leave the scent of Christ behind my trails forever. I’ve loved The World Race for the various
ministries that I get to be a part of.
While some are more “up my alley” than others, the diversity of them has
stretched me and helped me grow in so many ways. Some months we are dealing directly with
kids, some with adults, some directly working with churches and outreaches,
sharing Christ with others, some months we are building beds or stairways…I
believe that it’s all furthering God’s love throughout the places we are
go. I love that this month we are
building beds…for the kids.
I
am currently in need of support…we are coming upon the last 4 1/2 months of
ministry on the World Race, and my current support level is at $11,950…and my
total need is $13,800. That leaves me
with $1,850 left to go. A huge THANK YOU
too all of you who support me through prayers, words, or finances. The World Race has not only transformed my
life, but the lives of those that I’ve encountered throughout the year!
