South Africa Update From Team

Hey everyone,

We have arrived on schedule in Cape Town. All our baggage made it and all of us are doing fine. We are staying at the Baptist College where all slept well. Yesterday was our first day here and we already had a ministry in a rehab center. We listened and shared our testimony to a group of men ages 18 and up who are recovering from drug and alcohol addictions. They were very open and we recieved a blessing by hearing how God is working in all their lives.

Pray for us as tomorrow we travel 2.5 hours to our ministry location where we will work in an Awana club and Youth Group. We will spend the night there and return the next day. Next week we will travel to a fishing village on the west coast 3 hours from here where we will work in a school and a church. Clive wants to use the team to introduce the local churches to Awana. They do not have any Awana churches there.
Praise - Clive reported record sign-ups for Awana Camp. He was hoping for 85 and has 160. He is very encouraged. We will meet with the ministry team on Sunday to plan the ministry for the camp.
