Last post from Durban!

Our past few weeks have been amazing. We have seen God moving in ways that I didn't expect. We have visited a few different places; a food bank, an orphanage, and the taxi rink. Each place has a different feel and a different vibe.

Our experience at the food back was great. All of the volunteers that normally work there were gone for the Christmas holiday. Our team was able to bless the ones who were there during our time. We sorted through a lot of food and had a lot of laughs. All in all it was worth doing.

The orphanage that we visited was amazing. They own three hundred acres of a game reserve. They had 134 children all HIV positive. They believe in supporting themselves by growing and selling tomatoes. It was refreshing to see an effort like that. They don't want to have to rely on others to support the children they are caring for. We did a little landscaping for them and then hung out with the kids.
Our time at the taxi rink was truly amazing. We went there with little plans but a lot of faith. We performed a few skits for the people passing by, drew a crowd, preached the good news and prayed for people. We saw people gain hearing and sight, and lose pain where they once had it. It was the best Christmas Eve I have ever had!

God is truly with us and with the people of South Africa.
