South Africa:What do you look like??South Africa:What do you look like??
My heart has fallen in love this past month. Over and over again, but with many people. With the children I was daily able to play with, to love.
Can I just say my expectations were mildly low coming into South Africa. I knew that I would enjoy this month. That God would work in it, and the ministries that I knew about I would enjoy. This month we have been blessed to be living with 4 other teams for our ministries. Which include the surfing and soccer ministry mainly. However there are also the a few others such as readings, Mitchell's plaing, Malcolm's project and Tembaletu.
I love soccer back home and so needless to say I was quite satisfied with it being apart of ministry this month along with surfing. Which I can say I had no idea how to surf prior to South Africa, and perhaps I am still no good what so ever. What I can say is that I stood up, and that I will be attempting surfing more and more in the future.
Most of my time however was spent at the Soccer Ministry where we found ourselves working with street kids and kids from a community called Capricorn. Capricorn is a poverish area where drugs are given to children to replace hunger pains. A place where children are unable to go to school because their families cannot afford to send them.
