Aloha family and friends! I am writing from the internet cafe in Tyger Valley. For the past few days we’ve been having a lot of fun meeting new people and visiting new places of South Africa. On Sunday we went to the His People N1 church morning service where we; Charde’, Iwa, and I performed our hula. At first we were a bit nervous because we didn’t have much time to practice, but everyone told us that they loved it. We were so grateful that everyone appreciated our dance that they wanted to learn how to dance too! Everyone here is so friendly and the worship is indescrible, the team is so pumped up and ready to praise God. I hope that we can bring the energy back to our services. Later that day we went to the youth service at UWC which was super awesome! We performed again and Mark spoke that night about Being the Change. Iwa gave her testimony and it was wonderful to see how encouranging our stories can be.
We went to Table Mountain and the Waterfront on Monday and will be visiting Robben Island this coming Monday because of it being closed for the day. Sorry I’m skipping ahead, but I think you can read also what Iwa has to say :]
Last night we got to be apart of the first His People Chruch Eersteriver planting. That was the first midweek service, where the church has been meeting at different houses prior to last nights service. The OFFICIAL church launce will be on Sept. 1st. Like always the worship being great, it was especially touching last night because everyone was so excited and you could really feel God’s presence in the room. The people are so friendly, like I said before, but everyone wanted to spend time and talk to us. It makes you feel really good when people want to share their country and are always asking how we like it here. South Africa is truly an amazing place and God is doing wonders here. You can tell by the way people inter here. There is such a fire and yearning for God that is just so amazing.
We are off to campus again to reach out and invite more students to Hawaii Night. Continue to pray for us and be blessed!! :]
