Transition. That’s what a lot of this month has been about. Ministry for this month has been all over the place. In Muizenberg we (along with three other teams) were working with an organization called Volunteer in South Africa. Through it we did surf ministry, soccer ministry, and reading ministry. We were also partnered with Hillsong Cape Town. With them we were able to work with a school for special needs children and moderate a feeding in a township.
Now for our mini-debrief, the entire squad has come together at an amazing house overlooking the freezing Atlantic. Our past month was spent eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches everyday for lunch so that we could pay for these accommodations now. Before we head off to Mozambique, our squad goes under a big change. The team that I’ve been with for the past 3 (5 if you count since training camp) has been disbanded. I’m someone that welcomes change, and this was something that I was actually looking forward to. But being the usually slow person that I am, the prospect of team changes didn’t seem daunting on me until the night before. To all of my former teammates’ loved ones, thank you so much for reading my blog. I want to say that it has been such a great honor and privilege to live and die with them. I have learned so much through them and they have challenged me to grow in such an amazing way.
As emotional as these past days have been, we remind ourselves that this disbanding of teams is for the glory of the Lord. As the sun sets on Team H.O.P.E., it rises on Ruach. But more on that later 😉
