Faith Walk By Two

We combined extended teams for a huge job to move clothing donations from storage so rooms can be cleaned and prepared to become classrooms.

Clothing and shoes had to be sorted and packed into shipping containers for later distribution.

More clothing work at the primary school to swap out summer for winter school uniforms.

Tuesday evening experience with the women’s rugby club at Pretoria University. Younger members of our extended team got to practice and play sevens rugby. The rest of us were cheering spectators.

Sunday worship and sharing our mission story with Highway Church in Raslouw.

More bread making at NHKA church, then organizing clothes at Kairos Center.

Sunday services at Jacobs Well complete with African style Gospel worship and a great message.

The team ventured out for a very early Saturday morning hot air balloon ride over the local countryside. Seeing the shadow of our balloon on a cloud covered by a rainbow was a special treat.

Our team next visited another soup kitchen and thrift shop called Blessed Hands. We spent time with people and learning about how they live. After a local pastor shared the Word with all of us, we served them lunch of rice, gravy, and chicken.

Our next visit was to the combined ministries of Jacobs Well and Baselia Patria. Students come to develop skills in farming God’s way, construction, electrical, welding, plumbing, technology, and more. When they complete their programs, they receive certificates and help with resumes to find work.

Jacobs well provides education for disabled, assisted living for some elderly people, church services and Sunday school for the local community and much more.

Another day at the NHKA church to make garlic bread to be sold for ministry support and also feed people at the soup kitchen.

We were very blessed to be able to spend time with people from this community, hear their stories and pray with and for them.

Our team’s next stop was the kitchen at General Nikolas Smit primary school, where we peeled and diced squash, potatoes, and also chopped cabbage. Then we repackaged spices, rice, maize, and more, from bulk donations into smaller family size packages. Some was used to feed nearly 800 children at the school. Packages would be sent home to families.
