So this is an overview of what we’ve been doing here in Africa up until now. Sorry it took so long to get a blog up! 😀
The first couple days we stayed at the Betor House in Nelspruit, ZA with Kent and Shea, and Terri.
They sent us to Mozambique for around 5 days. We helped this lady fix her garden, and then we went to a place where prostitutes’ children stayed. We put on relay races, built a sandbox, and played with the kids.
Then we went back to the Betor house and stayed there for around a week.
We went to an Iris Ministries base in White River- Michael’s Children Village- for a months. There were four houses right next to eachother, two full of children, one with a missionary couple and a baby they were taking care of, and the house we stayed in. We played with children, held babies, helped with the feeding center ministry, and helped out with whatever Jean and Teisa- the coulpe in charge of the base- told us to do, including painting, cleaning, sorting gifts, etc.
Then we stayed at the Betor house for around a month to help Terri hold down the fort because Kent and Shea went to America. There we helped with the weekly meat market ministry, devotions at the realtors office, lessons at the school, daily devotions with the workers, chores around the house, and some other things.
For a week during the time we were at the Betor house, we went to Geiza, Mozambique to stay with Tenny. We did house and hospital visits and childrens’ ministry.
After all that at debrief, they changed our location to Mozambique staying with a missionary family that are from South Africa: Jaco, Marie, and their children Maggie and Rudo. We’ve been there for a month now, and are in South Africa at the moment renewing our visas and heading back there for the remainder of the trip. There, we help with the church by doing childrens ministry and preaching and teachings on worship. We help tutor Maggie and Rudo with school, we do house visits, prison ministry, and are going to do hospital visits when we get back. We did a womans’ seminar and will hopefully do another one before we leave.
For around five days last month we went and stayed at an orphanage that Jaco started. We lived with the kids.
So that’s what we’ve been up to since Africa. There will be blogs later about specific experiences and awesome God stories. God is faithful!
