Day 3

Wow. What a day of worship and praise. These kids have very little, but they have a huge faith in God. They leave nothing back in their worship. Drums, singing, and dancing are how they express thanks to the Savior. Tonight we had a cross service where they place their burdens at the foot of the cross on flash paper, then lit. In a flash their sins and burdens are gone-just the reason Christ died for us. Awesome. Check out the day's pictures. Worship isn't all-there's swimming, crafts, sports competitions, or just plain hanging out. Keep the prayer coverage coming!

Day 2

Today is day three. But yesterday was a sight to behold. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. The weather is great, the food plentiful, and the kids become more relaxed by the minute. You can see the joy on their faces (most of them!) I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy.

Camper's Arrive

Yesterday the campers arrived. The day was full of joy, praise, and alot of fun despite a power outgage that lasted from 8 PM Saturday night until noon today (Sunday). These kids are full of drive and curiosity despite their circumstances. All have a story. We have emailed many prayer requests to the prayer warriors back home. I have never seen a group of kids so happy to escape and have a chance to be kids. These kids can sing.....little excuse needed. A natural chior. Enough writing....here's some pictures.

Cape Town

Greetings all,

Thank you for all your uplifting prayers. We arrived in Cape Town last night. Finally, the entire team is together. Today was spent getting familiar with the compound and handling some logistical details. Our recent safari experience is fresh in our minds. What an experience getting to know one another and experiencing God's creation at the same time. I've posted some pictures below. We are now focused on the camp and campers. Tomorrow, the facilitators arrive and we begin to team build with them. The kids arrive on saturday morning. Keep those prayers coming and lift-up the facilitators our goal is to become one team doing HIS work. Tomorrow morning will be another post and I'll include some pictures of the facility.

Team South Africa

Finally-South Africa!

Howdy All....Greetings from South Africa. We finally arrived in Durban this afternoon. Although we are exhausted, we are glad to arrive safe and sound despite some lost luggage and being stuck in a series of tubes for 20 + hours. Tonight we rest, tomorrow we leave Durban for Phinda and our precamp safari. Thanks to all for keeping us in your prayers. Durban is right on the Indian Ocean and very tropical. The terrain reminds a few of us of Hawaii. Even the city looks alot like an older, colonial Honolulu. From my room we can see where they filmed Amazing Race a few years ago. We'll let everyone know how the safari goes. Keep praying for us, the upcoming camp, and the campers.
