My Four Weeks

My life for the past four weeks has been crazy. I've been to Mozambique twice. I've been privileged to be a volunteer at five Christmas Parties that saw over 5,000 orphaned and vulnerable children have one of their best memories ever. I've been to South Africa twice, to drop off Jordan and to take the youth on a fun day to Badplaas...which is not really a bad place, it's actually quite good! Natural hotsprings, water slides, go karts, etc. I've been to camp across the country in Mlawula Game Reserve. I've helped run a youth absitinence day in the community of Ka Khoza. I've help lead worship at CarePoints, churches and in houses. I've spent myself...because I look into the children's, the poor's, the youth's eyes and I see Jesus. I'm not perfect, I'm in need of Jesus every day. But I know this, I will and strive and empty myself out so that I can serve the least of these...My life is blessed, God is good and with God lives are being changed.


YES I WAS THAT CLOSE, EISH, I CAN SEE AN IRIS
