Welcome to my blog journaling my second short-term mission to South Africa. After leaving Masiphumelele (Masi-pu-me-le-le) in November 2011 I've had it on my heart to return and volunteer once again for Living Hope. I have a great respect for Living Hope and the amazing ministry they are doing in townships around Capetown; I want to be a part of that again. It is an honor and blessing to serve Living hope and the Masi community in the name of Jesus Christ. I can hardly wait to get to work!
"He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"

WE are here!
After leaving DIA at 10:45 am Friday our 4th and final flight of the trip landed in Cape Town a little after 11 pm South African time Saturday night. We were greeted by the smiling faces of Ramos and Jeremy from the Team House. We did not get into bed until around 1:30 am Sunday morning. Now it is 6:30 a.m. on Sunday. the sun came up very early so we got around 3.5 hours of sleep! We are off to two church services this morning. One at the host church King of Kings Baptist church and then to a church in the township of Masi. we have found out that we will be doing some work in two other townships as well as Masi- Capricorn and Oceanview. We will be working at Kid's Club, health clinics and the homeless ministry. On our flights over we encountered so many diverse cultures and languages. I know I put this in my log a couple years ago, but it is truly amazing how big this world is and and the diversity it contains. We are all anxious to get to work tomorrow. I apologize in advance for any typos my posts may contain...I am using an iPad and am not very proficient on the keyboard yet. :o)
