SNAPshot a day: traditional

Traditional African clothes.

Spending some time together after church.

Saying goodbye to a dear family that I have come to love over these past two years.

SNAPshot a day: biscuits

In South Africa... cookies are called biscuits.

In South Africa... it is just as important to say goodbye as it is to say hello.

We have been baking biscuits, eight batches to be exact, for the students and teachers at the three schools we work with. We will also present a class picture to the principals as a thank you. Goodbyes are hard but necessary. It is tough thinking I may never see these children or adults again. But God is sovereign and brought me here for such a time as this and this time has come to an end. Bittersweet.

SNAPshot a day: grade seven

Philani came to speak to our grade 7 Life Orientation class at Dr. Mary. He shared his testimony with the children. It is always so encouraging to see Africans sharing with Africans. Pray these children would realize their need for Christ and accept Him as Lord.

To keep or not to keep... that is the question!

SNAPshot a day: first goodbye

This is the first goodbye of many...

I have been at Hector Pieterson for three years of grade 7 girls. One girl asked me today, when will I be back to teach the next grade 7s. It is hard to say goodbye to this school...

...to the deputy principal I have come to love...

...and to the girls.

Pray. Pray for these girls to understand the importance of waiting till marriage to have sex. Pray they would choose to live according to God's standards which is for our good. Pray they would accept Christ as Lord and dedicate their lives to Him alone.

SNAPshot a day: prayer request

Meet Lebo & Sibongile parents of Kabelo & Tshegofatso

They both love God so much! And it has truly been a blessing to be a part of their lives, especially as I have discipled Sibongile. They have specifically asked for prayers for their family...

They are currently living in a shack with no water and limited electricity. They are asking that you please pray for God to provide a more suitable living arrangement. They are seeking God's will for them as a family. Pray for Lebo and Sibongile as they raise their children up to fear the Lord.
