Well, i have been in P.E. for 2 months now. This is now probably one of my favorite places is the world! I love it. I have been working with a youth group at a church called lighthouse family church. The youth is called Firehouse! It happens on Saturday nights. I am there to help and lead, and do whatever. There are about 5 other teammates who go there to help also. I have been able to mentor a few girls, and help lead a cell group (small group) on Wednesday nights! I have really been used by the lord here. This church is amazing. They opened their arms wide open and have been there to help us and support us in every way possible.
I have also been working with a ministry call Isithembisu. It’s a children’s home for abandoned and abused babies and toddlers! The nurses who work here pretty much only have time to take care of basic needs…. little time for love, for play, or anything else really. These babies are precious. They just want someone to play with them. Some of them have TB, some have HIV and others are just beaten and abandoned and removed from their houses by social workers.
Here’s one story of one baby… His parents divorced and were fighting over who gets to take him. They were both pulling on his legs, and broke both of them. So, he is a little over 1 yrs old, and has just started to learn how to crawl. Every time you pick him up, he just keeps his legs straight out, because he doesnt know he can bend them. They are completely healed now, and he is just precious.
This city has blessed me, and changed me, and helped me to grow! I love it, and will be back one day! I love the people, the ministries i can be apart of, and how God is moving! He is the God of this city, that is for sure. And i have seen it first hand!
