A journal of my calling to serving the Lord in South Africa. It started off with building homes for orphans which has led to me serving more long-term. I work with the local pastor and my ministry partner in caring for orphans and doing ministry through various outreach program.

Build day #2...
Today was an unusual day with it's ups and downs. Yesterday as we left the build site there was a terrible storm and one of the walls fell so we had to redo it. One of the beneficiaries was in the hospital and passed away last night. Pastor Majola asked the team to be with him as he told the family. It was a very hard situation as we prayed with them. She leaves behind 5 orphans. One of them a 6 yr. old boy clung to Pastor Majola's side after he heard the news and tears just streamed down his face. All I could do was to hug him for a while. Unfortunately, that is one of the harsh realities of Africa and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. I am glad that many of them now have homes that kept them warm and dry from the storm last night. We ended the day on a drive through a game resreve. We saw impala, wildebeest, zebra, rhinos, hippos and a very rare sighting of the sable antelope. So all ended well.
