Results Day!

Since Sunday we’ve done so much! We had a chance to visit Davina’s church (Bryston Bible Church) where we experienced a warm welcome and had a great time meeting the members. We left the service feeling spiritually pumped, after a powerful message that in Christ we are saints.

On Monday we started our work at the homework club at Ikemeleng. We were initially quite anxious and uncertain about the challenges we would face but thankfully after prayer, ideas started flowing, allowing for an awesome day of games, drama and fun activities for the kids!

Having fun with the kids!

These past few days have been exhausting but it’s been so rewarding to develop friendships with the kids and share God’s love. We have been gradually realizing the hunger for love that these children have.

During the homework club this week we’ve been focusing on the theme of self esteem with Psalm 139:14 as our memory verse, which says ‘I praise you Lord because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.’ Because of the harsh society in Alexandra we have been trying to communicate self worth to these children through drama, song, games and helping them one on one with their homework.

The volunteers that help at Ikemeleng have been a massive inspiration to us. Jono, Juddy and Khekhe (the supporters) have been so supportive of all of our work.

Today a few of us received our AS/A2 results. Thankfully we all received what we wanted which was very relieving.

Almost daily we have been sharing our testimonies with the team in the evenings. These testimonies as well as regular worship sessions and quite times have helped us to grow closer to God, seeing him in different lights and putting our trust in him.

So far our trip has been immense with God working in all of us and team unity growing.

Thanks for praying,

Will and Joe.
