(It's true! It's true!)
Well, I spent almost a month on my own along the east coast in two different places: Knysna and Plettenburg Bay, and now I am back with the Salyer family in Capetown. I have gotten accepted to attend YWAM, a Christian organization where I will be attending discipleship classes for three months, and then ministering in different places in South Africa. This program will run mid April through September. I will be located in on of the biggest townships (urban areas established by black Africans after the apartheid in which many live in shacks and lower income housing), living in a facility that houses HIV babies. There will be many opportunities to be involved in the community as well, such as afterschool programs, tutoring, working with the law enforcement, elderly, etc. I am really excited to get a more “hands-on” structured experience in urban Africa, as it’s been my heart to see many cultures unite and empower them in the name of Jesus Christ. I know it will challenge me to step out and use my gifts, so that I can see God move through me. I am ready to roll up my sleeves and dig into Kingdom work again! Yippee!
