Hey guys

So today we started the day at the beach at around 5:30 as some of us waited to see the sunrise over the Indian Ocean. It was nothing short of spectacular and a truly wonderful showcase of the power and beauty of Gods creation.

We then got to spend the rest of the morning with the older youth at the village, just hanging out playing table football, pool, video games etc. It was great to share time with the youth doing stuff we had in common (though I must say my FIFA skills need a little tuning after today) it was also a great time to once again be shown the passion for Jesus the kids have.

In the afternoon we headed into the township of Cottonlands, which is literally at the boundary of LIV village. The township house up to an estimate of 20,000 people with many of themnbeing unemployed. We went door to door with Zulu translators to assess the medical needs of the community for a clinic as well as finding out inhabitants per house, names and D.O.B.s. The joy and pride in what hear people have is just tremendous and so so welcoming. One lady even gave me and my partner a basket she had weaved, requesting we take it back to England to use for the church offering. It was also a great opportunity to break down social barriers and also pray for community members.

This evening we debriefed and I soon found God speaking to me about his provision to his people and how he will guide us when we are obedient to his calling to day not he right things for his name. It was also special to see what other team members though of the trip and how these things had effected them.

Peace
