And here we are! Time is precious and I'm treasuring the days more and more. I want to give my best, even when put to the test and when I feel like I haven't gotten enough rest.
The last week has probably been the most intense so far. We have shared around ten sermons, eleven testimonies, numerous dramas in front of all together maybe a thousand people? A God-given platform, amazing chance (even though we didn't always feel that way) to share the good news and testify about it. Mothers, prisoners, basketball players, children, church assembly and college students have been listening, and I hope to God we've taught righteously and humbly. I hope they dare to question, battle with thoughts and seek for truth. And I pray mostly they will listen to the voice that convicts and speaks truth, and respond to the pursuit of God's love.
The lessons I'm learning are good and many. I dare wish for more. The team is growing, everyone in their own paths and we still have unity. Love one another we need to do, mostly to be shown when less desired to. But friends we all are and no body parts are missing. Safe and sound, less than two weeks of this trip left, I pray we will continue to give our absolute best.
We just arrived to Malapascua. It's breathtaking but heartaching from seeing the poverty in Sanmar to the luxury of the tourists. This broken world.
Tomorrow we head to a close-by island for three days. We're the first team from SA to go there. It's pioneering and new. Considering that last year Arno's team was the first to go to Malapascua, and ever since there's been around a hundred people sent there, it is exciting. Who knows what God has in store for us there for such a time as this? :)
With some of the cool youth after a youth service.
Sanmar.
Heading to Malapascua.
