Well what a day we’ve had! We took the convoy half an hour outside of Durban to the LIV village. Where we joined the kids for their last assembly before the Easter break. We had an amazing rendition of Psalm 23 as well as readings, the kids are so passionate about school and church. As its great to see so quickly how God is moving in their lives.

As we talked through the verses a couple of the lads and I had to act as sheep in a dramatised version, the kids found this all rather hilarious to see a bunch of twenty something guys on all fours pretending to be sheep.

After this we toured the village, situated on a hill, the views around LIV village are stunning. The facilities are great too, and it’s great to see the village become more and more towards self sustainably financially. As well as improving the micro-economy of the nearby community of Cottonlands.

We spent the afternoon setting up a medical questionnaire to use in the Cottonlands township later in our time here. So we were mainly confined to an IT room, but we were soon attracted the attention of some of the boys living at the village. They were quite intent on showing us their favourite football players and the online maths games they play in school.

Just back from a quick trip to the beach, kind of odd being there at 6pm and still being warm enough.

It’s really amazing being out here, and it’s exciting seeing how God provides and hearing how he’s changed and led people’s paths to bring them to this village. I’m sure there’s much more to learn as this is only the first day.

Peace
