What God’s done so far while we’ve been in South Africa:

  1. Challenged our views of God and how to worship Him (We were called on to dance in front of the church last Sunday).
  2. Shown off his creation and beauty.
  3. Healed Anna Lisa’s (one of our squad mates) wrist.
  4. Healed our contact Bradley’s groin.
  5. Provided $10,000 in 15 hours for my sister Tarah and brother-in-law Seth’s family to go to Mozambique for a couple of months to do missions work.
  6. Kept our teams here safe from hurt, harm, and sickness.
  7. Brought my high school friend Christina Bacino who lives here and who I was trying to connect with to the exact place I was hanging out without either of us knowing it or planning it. We were literally sitting 10 feet away from each other.
  8. Moved in various people’s hearts that we have connected with and shared the gospel with.
  9. Worked through us to love on kids and strangers and share with them the love of Jesus.
  10. Taught us how to step out in faith and be alright with the uncomfortable.
