Today we went to the wetlands to play soccer with the kids. Brayden was all smiles - there were so many kids and we had a great soccer match in the field. The little kids are so hungray for attention and love, and touch. they are beautiful kids. Godknows has been with almost all the time. He is a Mighty Man of God - He spoke about Jesus to the kids in the language. We will go back on tuesday to play again.
In the morning I had my quiet time and our house is up the mountian, and from the deck we can see the township of Masi. I was reading about the prodical son and how the Father ran to his son. The tears came then as I know that is my story - that God ran to me and how he desperatly wants the people of Masi to run to Him. He has his arms wide open. My heart breaks for them. The needs are huge - everywhere you look there are desperate people in desperate situation. And the people that let the Word of God enter and they believe in Jesus it is so powerful to me to see what Jesus means to them. He is there only hope. Even the name Jesus - saying it brings so much power. WE are praying for Porsha, she found a lump on her breast and the doctors are telling her that it is cancer. This is nursing her 10 month old son and the doctors told her to stop. Nursing is his main food. So it has been so difficult, we are praying and believing that the lump would be gone. Please stand in that prayer also. She is alone and she is scared.
It is awesome to see everyone in the group using their different giftings. Sheraya just happen to bring her knitting to use during her down time - but God had different plans - she is teaching Porsha how to knit slippers, so then Porsha can start a small business and make a little $ to support herself. Shereaya has spent hours already knitting and talking with Porsha. It is beautiful. Everyone is doing so well and we are seeking hard after God each day together. We are truly nothing without Him. The harvest is ripe.
A typical night for us is, a dinner is made by Syvia, so deilcious, after a long day in Masi to come home to a great meal has beeen a huge blessing, then we play games, sing, worship, talk, laugh, watch little house on the praiire. And go to bed.
The next couple of days we will be sight seeing in the afternoon. Taking in the beatuy of South Africa. We will meet with people in the morning and then go sight seeing in the after noon. We love all of you - please join us in prayer AWAKE AWAKE OH MASI - AWAKE from your slumber and set your eyes on Jesus the Author and Perfector of our Faith. Sign off - Marcy
