JANUARY 2009:

Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 weeks already and so much has happened. Before I left to go to South Africa I was picked up by Jen and Beth and they took me out for dinner and for a walk near the airport.


Jen and Beth



At the airport I had a few surprised visitor's. They prayed for me before I left.
Andreah, Gary, Len, Beth and Tobi.




Found out that Doug Fordham and Bruce Christensen were on the same flight as me going to London. They were on their way to India to do a mission's trip.



Went to a coordinator's retreat for 3 days right after I landed in Cape Town. It was an amazing time before we started the new year with our ministries. We had two guest speaker's talk about Leadership and Spiritual discipline. It was a great time of bonding and fellowshipping with one another.




Went visiting the schools and teachers in Khayelitsha. They were excited to see me and noticed how much weight I gained since I left. I am now making an effort to loose the weight by running, swimming and hiking each day.


I was very impressed when I went to visit some of the schools. They made an effort to make their schools better with very little resources and money. It's great to see what they can do when I was gone for 6 months.




These are my roommates Joy and Susanna. Joy is the coordinator of 43 Sunday Schools in Khayelitsha and Susanna just started a new ministry in Kraaifontein doing Sunday Schools and Youth ministries.



Hiking on Lions head with some of the missionaries.



Went octopus hunting with Pastor Ohm's family.



I was just an observer because you had to feel under the rocks and then dive into the ocean to pry them out.











Saw a stranded seal on the beach.




Saw some wild Ostrich's at Cape Point.




I have no idea what this is? It's a size of a big rabbit.




Visited the penguins nesting.











Sight-seeing with Paul, Yong Woo and Susanna



Paul and Yong Woo just came back from Zimbabwe. This is 3 trillion Zimbabwian dollars and it's worth only $1.00 US. They said that the situation in Zimbabwe is getting worse.






African Leadership America came to visit and see what's happening with the ministries that they are supporting.

I am still looking for a car! Today I sold my first car (which was a lemon) for $14000 rand, even though I spend over $400000 after fixing everything. Oh well, I am just glad I got rid of it. Pray that I find a car or a small truck asap because I can't start the LOVEa ministry without a car.
