Pastor Thwala doing half of the Confirmation and Pastor K doing the other half. So beautiful.
Looking for the "Celebration Lutheran Church Group". Anyone know where they are?
Bill and Anna...after many, many hours in the air. Please get us off of this plane. It's been 20+ hours.
Eating at a local restaurant buffet style. This is Carl (from African Exposure) and Shara (a mission worker).
The women getting "their outfits" or "being confirmed" as we call it.
Pastor K talking with the local women catching up on the happenings over the last year. 
Pastor Thwala re-reading the short paragraph Bill wrote for the presenting of the gifts from church. He did his best... they understood what we were trying to say.

Stella and Anna sitting at the local restaurant enjoying great conversations and amazing food.
Seems like you guys had a great day. It is so wonderful to see so many different types of people at the house of God, all doing the same thing - worship! I can imagine this is how it will be, different languages, colors, etc., but all praising our savior together. Thanks for the post Scott, I know it is a tremendous amount of work. Love, Jessica

The Pictures look amazing. The weather even looks great as well. It is so nice to see so many happy faces. This is a blessing not only for the South Africans, but for Americans as well. It is great to have your group give such a fantastic representation for the people this nation.
ReplyDeleteWanting more information on confirmation.... Are they lay leaders of the church? Or have they gone through confirmation instruction? Hope today is great as well. Thinking and praying for everyone. Jessica PS Lovin' the thatch! What a great skill...
ReplyDeleteScott, Looks like you and your group are doing great things in Africa! Thanks for posting the updates and amazing pictures! Take care! -Sondra
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day we had. The children are so happy to have us here (again) and very excited about the playground. I was able to see some of the children from last year, which touched my heart. I am very humble to this experience and the children remember me. That warms my heart.
