Durbz and back again....

From last Thursday through to Sunday we had an outreach happening in Durban.....it was incredible.

We have a church plant that was essentially started by 3 women who attended our Easter Convention and decided they wanted some of what we have out here in PMB, out there in Durbz. Those three women have been amazing in how they have mobilized their communities and been the channels through which so much has taken place out there.

The outreach was in a set of flats called Kenneth Gardens (flats are like apartment buildings to us, but only 3 levels high). We did tent style evangelism which had never been done in that community. We typically had a healing clinic (prayer for the sick, etc.) in the mornings, a children's program in the afternoon then an evangelistic meeting in the evenings. There was quite a bit of time between each of these things which was time used interacting with the community one-on-one, prayer walking, etc.

This was unlike any other mission i'd been on because God began to really open my eyes to the brokeness of the people we met. There was such a deep, deep hunger for God; so many were in crisis experiences and didn't know where to turn. So many were desperate for help; i personally counselled quite a few people who were begging us to stay in the community longer because of the need. There is a lot of work to be done there in following up; we actually had 70 people make commitments to the Lord over the 4 days and we're already challenged with the capacity to nurture them. We could really, really use y'alls prayer support for that.

Yup, back in PMB now at my desk trying to create some good infrastructure for the Intern Programme. There is also going to be a workshop here in Dec just before i come home called the Gospel and Arts which i'm really looking forward to. I'm actually helping facilitate part of it, i'm grateful for that opportunity. Gotta come strong wit it......

Ndiepi famz!

Ya, doin well by God’s marvelous grace – it’s like.…the beginning and end as far as life go it’s only natural I explain my plateau and also what defines my name… Tings been healthy. Wanna let y’all know that there have been a few rocky days though, but those are the spice of life.

Last week Thursday was a day that I won’t forget. The night before I had cleaned my shoes so thorough I could see myself reflected in the canvas material. They were still a likkle wet in the am so I decided to do what I know you would’ve too – lean them up on my space heater for a few. I did that and checked to see if they were burning – no problems. Why is it a few minutes later Rick (a housemate) called my attention to smoke rising to the ceiling……. Needless to say I was bummed.

Well I headed down to the office and everything was cris, I told people it was a great day and as I stepped out of my house a meteor landed on my foot – like a blessing. I had to make a quick dash out and when I returned attempted to park where I usually do, on a narrow strip of grass overlooking a ravine/gorge arrangement. Little was I aware that wet grass is like ice….to my surprise when I jammed my breaks (at a slow speed) my car continued…..directly towards the edge of the ravine/gorge arrangement. Well I was a little shocked and made a decision to try a few things before bailing. Man, I was going for the edge when all of a sudden the car came to a sudden halt – there was a stump/rock joint that the car got caught on. Praise God for that stump/rock joint > wasn’t my time to head home yet. After many attempts to tow it off, we finally settled on about 10 dudes lifting it off and pushing it back……

That's a nice ravine behind those bushes

A day i won't forget.......


The next am i drove out to Joburg - a blessed time i had there. I bucked my cousins and we hit an Oliver Mtukudzi concert which was amaaaaazin!!! I just rocked to it all night long - been a while since i had a dance you know? I really feel his music, especially cuz of how his faith in Jesus is a big part of his music. The weekend there was refreshing, mainly being with famz, having no responsibilities and having fun. During Mon and Tues i made some connections with other NGO's that may be able to help me with expanding the Intern Programme.

Yes, that's it for now. Stay Bless, wunLuv
