African update

A happy heart is good medicine. Prov. 17:22

African update:
Team South Africa made it. We are here! God blessed us with good travels and quality flights. 
We arrived at a ministry called 10,000 homes located in the north east part of South Africa. The team here is awesome and seems to be very like minded to our own mission. They put us right to work! 
We have been joining them in working with after school feeding programs. Creating relationships is a huge part of what we do here. The holiday season is just starting for a lot of the schools, so we have helped with A Christmas party and there will be more to come! Yay, Christmas! 
God is really working on our team as well. We have had a few opportunities to just grow deeper in our personal relationships with each other and also our relationship with God. We have discovered how working together really brings unity into our team. We have a small team with many different personalities and we are all able to bring something different to the team. God has really blessed us with variety of personality this season. 
We have also had the opportunity to join the 10,000 homes staff in work projects on their base. We have been digging holes for drains, painting houses and other things, helping with thrift sales at the end of their road and beautifying flower gardens etc. 
Please continue to pray for myself and the team as we continue to work alongside 10,000 homes. 
Pray that we might be an encouragement to them and help them in their ministry. 
Pray that we will continue to grow in our personal relationships with God and with each other. 
Pray for lives to be changes through connection with our time here. 
Pray for energy and strength within our team as our days are long. 
Pray that we will continue to keep our focus upward on Jesus and what He is doing so that we can join Him. 
Thank you everyone for your prayers! God is good!
