So many things happened this week!

First I and 16 others worked at a camp this weekend as leaders, support team.

the place we are staying at until Dec. has lots of camps on site. So,

we moved out one week, but this week, 17 of us worked there. I was so 

tired. Only

by God's strength did I make it thro the week without a breakdown. The camp

started on Friday and ended on Tuesday. I had a group of 9 girls, and at the

end of the week I had only 4! Some of the girls had to leave for different

reasons. I loved my girls! So sweet! They know alot about God! God is really

working in the lives of the youth here. God is really using this generation in

South Africa. Those kids are so broken! Alot of my girls were upper class, but

their home lives are terrible! Broken homes, lies. How do you tell someone

that God is their Heavenly Father, then their own father hits them? It's

so hard.



Guys, I ask you that you would PRAY!

For the youth here, their families, for spirits of confusion would be broken,

for them to have a real friendship with God. Our team would stay healthy.

Beat the Drum! Like the movie! =) An AIDS awareness program that we will be

helping with on Oct. 11 for a week. This will be in the community of

Summerset East. The people in the township (the poor part of Jbay)...

Africa....



Some of our team went and met a Mom and her kids. Her 7 month old baby 

looks like

a new born..our team just came back sobbing..their hearts were broken. The Mom

is an alcoholic and in drugs. They are trying to help her and her kids, but

if Blessings (one of the girl's names) and the 7 month old leave, what will

the Mom do?



God is really working here!! Sometimes we see it and sometimes we don't..It's

Gods way, not ours. When we think.. oh just another day...what's a day 

in Africa??

CRAZYYYYYY....anyway nope you will be humbled, broken, and lifted. It's so

easy to focus on yourself and NOT see other's needs.



The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the

stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalms 27:1



Jesus loves you guys!! My team is amazing! wow..I've missed them this week! I

was living in a house(cabin) with 15 strangers for 5 days. =)



I L.O.V.E. hearing from you guys at home.

God bless!
