Safe Arrival in South Africa!

Praise God for a safe arrival! After a long but very smooth flight, we arrived in Jo-burg and were met by John and Christy Page and their kids, CJ and Chae, Brad and Mary Hawkins and their children, and Chris, a Bible College student who will be ministering with us this week.

Please pray for three of the friends we met on the plane. Justin got a chance to share the Gospel with a lady named Carol, and J.J. used her Gospel Cube to talk with Rindell, a Hindu girl. Virginia was also able to have a great conversation with a lady she met. Pray that the seeds of God's Word shared with these ladies will bear fruit in God's perfect timing.

Once back to the WOL property, it was a pizza dinner, some drama practice, some "Resurrection Egg" assembly, team debriefing, and now, finally, off to bed for some much needed sleep.

Please pray for us tomorrow as we go to Van Reyne House of Safety. Pray that as we build friendships with the boys and girls (and leaders) and share the Gospel, that God's Spirit will work His mighty Will.

We'll post photos and a report tomorrow.
