Back to Africa

Well, I made it back home to Africa safe and sound.  We will be leaving early in the morning for Mozambique.  For the first three days we will be staying at the Swedish Centre for street children near Maputo.  We will be doing some ministry with the children Thursday morning and possibly in the evening as well.  Friday we will be visiting Zimpeto Orphanage, a part of Iris Ministries.  We will be given a tour of the facility and then will be allowed to eat lunch with the children.  Saturday we pack up and leave for Bilene, Mozambique.  There we will be staying at Laguna Camp.  We will be going to two churches in the area on Sunday and visiting a primary school on Monday.  Tuesday, we begin the journey back to South Africa.  We will be stopping in White River at the Karula Hotel.  Early Wednesday morning we will get up and head to Kruger National Park where we will hopefully see lots of animals.  Thursday, we head back home to Krugersdorp.  I am sure I will have lots of stories to share with you when I return.  Please keep us in your prayers as our days are filled with travel.  


We need Your deep love to keep us strong
We need Your truth to show us right from wrong
We need Your sweet peace to keep us calm
We need Your comfort to show us we belong to You

Sometimes we're like a river
Always running from our Source
But when we wonder why we're almost runnin' dry

You restore us and return us to our course

Sometimes we get so desperate
Straying further from the fold
But when it seems that we're losing all our dreams
There's a Shepherd with a loving hand to hold

Forgive us Lord
For thinking we can make it without You in this world

We're so foolish
Sometimes we're like a fortress
With our walls built all around
But then Your love comes shining down from above
And we stand and watch our walls come tumbling down

Lyrics of "Deep Love" by Petra
