South Africa!

Hello from the beautiful beaches of Cape Town South Africa! As I am writing this my team is preparing to leave the beautiful city of Muizenburg. No more team meetings on the roof where we can watch the waves of the indian ocean, no more drinking water out of the tap, no more western toilets and we will no longer be surrounded by 100 other ywamers at the base. Sad day! We have been VERY spoiled here with being able to flush toliet paper and having hamburgers and all the other western conviences! I have to keep reminding myself I am still on outreach. We arrived on the 26th after being in a jeep, 4 planes and 5 airports! Boy were we tired! We stayed at the YWAM base in Muizenburg which is a township of Capetown for 2 whole weeks. The longest we had been in one place was 10days. It is so exciting to be able to unpack for awhile. We worked with an organization called Catalyst 9 that stemmed from Mega Cities from Perth, Austrailia. 4 cities are chosen every year to be impacted with ywam teams and this year Capetown is one of them. The world cup is going to be held here in 2010 and ywam is trying to coordinate a huge outreach as 4 million people from all over the world flood South Africa. It is really cool because African South Africans can't go all over the world but now the world is coming to them. It is a huge opportunity to reach people for Christ! Who knows maybe I will be back here exactly a year from now! Over the next 3 months 34 ywam teams will be coming and partering with local churches to disciple and motivate them to catch the vision for 2010 and reach the people around them. My team worked with 2 different churches over our 2 weeks. Both different with different focuses and mostly "colored"(it is an ethnic term here and not offensive: a mix of the black african and the Dutch that settled here)/Black African. We lead their church services, prayer walked, did door to door evanglelism, discipled youth, and just got to know the people in their congregations. It was really good, challenging, and exciting. It is fun when the people catch the vision for finishing the great commission! We are leaving today for Uganda where it will be less comfortable and probably more intense. We will be working with African Renewal Ministries in a village discipling youth and getting to know people there. I am almost positive we won't have internet! So this may be the last post until Israel! Thanks so much for the prayers! I love you all!
