New Years till Now!

Hello everyone! Its been way too long since my last blog so i will try
to sum my last few months of my life for you. I wanna start at New
Years. I had visions in December of being in a stadium full of
worshipers. They were on my mind a lot. On new years day, we were
having a party in White river in South Africa with all the kids and one
of the Founders of the largest missions organization in Southern
Africa, Surprise Sithole. He started telling me he was going to an all
night prayer and worship meeting at the rugby stadium. I knew i had to
go. So i told i was going with him. A few hours later we show up early
to what he called a worship “meeting”, where there were already 5
thousand people. once we got there he told me he actually organized the
whole night (he forgot to tell me that). The place was filled with worship in singing and dancing. I was honestly the only white person. By the end of the night there were ten thousand people that entered the gate and an estimated 2 or 3 thousand that jumped the fence. It was so amazing. Check out the video at the top to see the end of the night of worship. sorry its sideways.

 

       After a couple more weeks in Nelspruit, we left for Mozambique again. We were serving with another missionary who lived about 5 hours north of Maputo (the capital city). We did the normal visits and playing with kids in addition to doing some gardening in the mornings. My heart still is pained for a baby we visited who was burned to a crisp all over his body. He mother said that he fell into a boiling pot. We prayed for with hope to see a miracle but aparently we didnt have the faith. In the last few days we really had fun with the kids. We put on skits and sang songs and played “chase the white people”.

 

       After a few more weeks in Nelspruit, we left for more Mozambique. In case you havent noticed the pattern, we felt is was obvious that the Lord wanted us in Moz. This time, we went further north to Vilanculos for two months. We lived in the bush with a missionary family of four. They started a church named “Jesus for Africa” in the city right in between a bar and a motocycle shop.

 

We did preaching at the church and did lots of house visits. On one of our house visits we pasted by a blind man on the sand road in the middle of a bunch of shops. I asked all the people around if they wanted to see a miracle. Then the team and 20 or 30 people off the street started praying for this mans sight. After a couple failed attepts, he said he was starting to see things. So to test him, i walked away from the crowd and asked him to walk to me and did it while saying “im walking to the white person”. he never got his complete sight back but it was enough to put a smile on his face and for the other people to wonder what was different about us. My favorite ministry that we did there was teaching and preaching at the prison. the prisoners loved when we came and i got to get really close with some of them.

       After our month at White River at the beginning of our trip, we asked God to send us back there at the end of the trip. Now, because of His faithfulness, we are going back to live there for our last few weeks.
