This morning started out as any usual Friday for me which consists of Life Skill Educator training.  However today I was blessed and I was not expecting that.  I arrived to training and we had a great devotion and reminder about the fact that we are to share the news of Jesus Christ and also starting the morning with just thanking God for all He has done for me.  Then it was time

Boy oh Boy has it been a while since I wrote anything!  I think back over my time here and look at those first months where I was so diligent to write every day and now I think how in the world did I do that.   My first thought goes to the fact that life here has become life and busy with all the things that go into that.  This makes me feel good because then it means that I am

It has been a little while since the last blog.  That is not to say that wonderful things have not been happening I just haven't gotten time to write about them.  One of which as most everyone knows is that the World Cup has ended.  I promise to talk more about that when I do my newsletter later this month!!  Right now I wanted to share with you about what happened this weekend

 I can't believe that two weeks of World Cup have passed!  It has been very busy here and I have so enjoyed getting the chance to go to each club and just be an extra set of hands for the day and just have some fun!  We were blessed this week to have a team from Shades Mountain Baptist Church in Alabama helping in two of our clubs and I know our LSEs were

Monday and Tuesday were packed with training the Life Skill Educators and volunteers on the curriculum that will be used for two of the four weeks of holiday club.  It was two long days but at the same time it was exciting to see all the hard work coming out and seeing everyone begin to plan and get things set in place for the weeks of holiday club. 

At the end of Tuesday I was

Well it is official!   The WORLD is coming to South Africa.  It is now finally time for the WORLD CUP!  I wanted to let you know what was going to be happening at Living Hope and with the Life Skill Educators during this huge event.  I would ask you to pray for us as we are sharing the love of Jesus with the children in all of the different communities.

This week has definitely had a couple ups and downs and has been very interesting!  It of course all started on Monday with going to home affairs and being told to come back later in the week!  I also had a meeting at the Cape Town Baptist Seminary to look into taking some classes and working on a degree.  All of the people at the seminary are very nice and helpful I even

I can't believe that it has been two years since I have arrived in Cape Town.  The time here has gone by so fast.  When I look back on the person I was when I got here and the person I am today I see so many changes.  I remember arriving here and feeling so overwhelmed by the fact that I was now living in Africa and I had no idea what and why God had chosen this for me.  I

Well as most of you have read the Visa situation is completely out of my hands and in God’s. I turned in all of the paper work and was told to come back in thirty days which is at the end of this month. I was a little worried because when they told me to come back it was after my Visa expired but they told me all was fine because I have submitted the paperwork. I want to take the time to

Time to check in with life in Cape Town.  It has been a little quiet lately but there have been some things I thought I would share.  One was some of the vols took a little over night road trip two weekends ago.  Six of us went to Sutherland...I know you are wondering what is Sutherland.  Well it is about five hours away from Cape Town and it is the coldest city in South Africa
