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 # 4
The weather was perfect today not too hot and there was a nice breeze blowing all day. So we were able to get back on track. There was one house that needed to be painted, the garden posts put in place and continue laying block on the house. As usual, little Scomboze greeted us with lots of smiles and hugs. We got a treat yesterday as well. There was a baby born on site on the trip in May and his mother brought him to the site so that we could see him. He is so precious. His name is Njubolo (zulu for happiness). And the great news is that family is getting a home as well. It is almost finished and by the end of the year they will be moved in. God is good. The Bishop of the Lutheran church of Southern Africa was on site with us today and he is so pleased with all that has happened in a year. I agree. Only a year ago we came to South Africa and built one house, toady there is a community. A community filled with hope and joy. We can make a difference, changing lives one child, one family at a time.
