Greetings from South Africa - Kim online tonight...
Today we accomplished exactly what God had ordained. We did not grow weary in doing HIS work; despite the rain and cold weather. we were able to finish our projects at the school today. Here is a brief recap:
7:00am Wake up call
8:00 Breakfast
8:20 Devotional time
9:15 meet at SCC to organize. Prayers for our day started with encouragement from John Hastings, Pastor of SCC.
10:00 Arrive at Stormont in the pouring rain, slightly discouraged about the challenge that the rain brings, but encouraged by the opportunity to finish painting, electrical work, and carpentry work on the Inside the classrooms.
3:00pm Finished! We had prayer with the principal and teachers of the school to bless them, the work that they do, and the children that attend Stormont. The much needed new lighting, doors, ceiling and roof repairs, as well as a fresh coat of paint over the entire exterior and part of the interior brings encouragement and new life to the school that serves 528 elementary children.
This evening was a special treat. Our hosts invited us in groups of two and three to join their small home groups for fellowship and dinner. We all had a chance to get to know more people from SCC and create memories that will last a lifetime. Each one of us will go home with new friends and joyful memories of the night. A special shout out to the Hastings’ group – Jeff, Vironetta and I had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for your hospitality and loving kindness.
As we draw near the end of our trip, we all have a knowing in our hearts that we were meant to be right here, right now, and have been humbled by God’s presence in our midst. I am so grateful to be a part of this team. Thank you, Jesus!
Signing off for now…it’s 1am and I’m off to bed.
