Saturday after our last post from a local mall, we went to the Apartheid Museum. It gave us a good overview of the history of South Africa and a good introduction for our trip.
We went to our second mall of the day for lunch at their food court. It was very similar to the malls in the US but while some stores were very familiar to us, others were not.
We arrived at our guest house in the late afternoon, had a nice dinner prepared for us there and spent time with our host. Then we got a much needed good night’s sleep.
We attended church at Charity and Faith Mission Church in Mamelodi. We were made to feel very welcome by a lively and energetic service that celebrated Father’s Day. We sat interspersed with the congregation for the special 4 hour service.
We went with different members of the church to spend the day and overnight in their homes to get more acquainted with the local culture. We had local foods, some people went sightseeing with their families and others stayed in to spend family time together watching South Africa Idol.
This morning (Monday) the team reassembled. Most of the team is spending the day at Charity & Faith to serve along side of the ministries.
Jana and Emily went to a meeting with Walk Thru The Bible to get some Celebrate Recovery materials for a CR seminar that will be held on Tuesday in Mamelodi and work out some details of other CR trainings that will take place on this trip.
Please pray for open hearts and understanding of the culture. That we stay focused on what God wants us to experience while we’re here. Pray for the CR introduction seminar tomorrow (Tuesday) in Mamelodi, for open hearts of those coming and that we speak God’s words.
