I’m trying to think of things to update you on, but I have to be honest and say that I can’t really remember what has been going on. The longer I’m here the more the days run together. Sometimes it is difficult to put into words what happens here because SO many things occur in just one day. We aren’t just here being kind and loving to those in need, but we are also walking along side students that are finding healing and freedom. They are finding out who God has created them to be, and how to walk in that. It’s SO incredible to be apart of. Its an amazing opportunity to fight for, love, encourage, push, and teach these students to truly seek the God of All. I would like to say it is easy work, but its not. It is probably one of the hardest things I have ever done, but seeing in their eyes the truth and life they are finding makes it all worth it.
The past couple of weeks we have been trying to challenge the students to write a Statement of Faith based on the following six things: Jesus, God, the Bible, Church, the Holy Spirit, and the depravity of Man. It was pretty incredible. Matt, Tag, and Chris did a great job of taking everything that the students thought they had nailed down and challenging them to really KNOW what they believe and WHY they believe it. That is so huge. Some still have some question marks, but I think that is ok. I think God is revealing Himself a little at a time to each of them. I’m really excited to hear them all and see what work God has done in each of their hearts.
Now, I am going to do some bragging. I hope that is okay. I have the most AMAZING ministry team ever. Brittany, Layne, and Andrea have taken over my full time position at the Clinic. At hard it was so hard to let go and put the ministry in their hands, but I am so glad I did. They are so great. They are constantly looking for new ways to minister to all that work and wait there. They bring light and joy to every corner of that place. The nurses have learned to love them and its just so great to see. Its really encouraging to be able to see them come after and do a great job. They truly bring love into that place.
Thats all I can really think of right now. OH! I did get to have tea w/ Dr. Bill and Carol again. It was the first time I had really spent time with the since I’ve been back. It was so great. They were so happy to see me, and it was just great to be back at my South African grandparents house again! I’m hoping to be able to spend a little more time with them soon:)
Love you guys.
