Relocating




Hello All! My team is here at the base in Muizenberg getting laundry done and repacking to go on to our next leg of outreach. We have just finished our 2 weeks of teaching at the first township called Zola and now we are getting ready to move into our new home for the next 6 weeks in a township called Philippi. We had a great experience during our first part of the outreach and saw a great response from all the people in the churches there. We are excited to see what this next part holds for our team and for the people of Philippi!

Each of our team members got many chances to teach and preach in the churches in Zola. We taught Bible Overview every evening during the first week and then my team taught the book of Colossians during the second week. We taught them how to study the bible for themselves as well and encouraged them not to stop here with the book of Colossians but to continue to study the other 65 books of the bible as well!

We had a wonderful lunch with the pastors and leaders yesterday to say good-bye and then many of the church members came over and washed our cars to bless us and say thank you. We were once again humbled by these people and feeling so blessed that this is what God has called us to!



Please continue to keep our team in your prayers as many of us are fighting a flu like bug and it makes it challenging when teaching and interacting with so many people to get the rest we need. We have been able to push through so far, so please pray for continued strength and healing on each of our team members. Thank you!

Liz
