Man there are a LOT of kids here!

Yesterday our team had the privilege of visiting King's School--and seeing where some of the Journey's special offering was designated. We met with Tracy King, the visionary missionary who is serving the informal township up from her home. She and her family have literally transformed their own home and garages into school rooms to educate the children who live in the township. Since opening the schools, their family has expanded into two classrooms and has plans for many more.


They also have four infants (under the age of 9 months) who have been abandoned at their doorstep (these 4 are part of 16,000 abandoned children on the Eastern Cape of South Africa each year. To check out more about the King's ministry, go to: www.sponsoranangel.org It's truly amazing what they're doing. The picture below is of the newest schoolhouse on their property (partially funded by the Journey).


We also have been continuing our Holiday Bible Club, which has been increasing in number each day to reach more of the inner city kids. We're about to head out to survey the local community of Southernwood (a neighborhood in East London) about their greatest needs so First City Baptist Church has a good pulse on where they can serve the most. The photo is of the recreation time at HBC.



Finally, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMY---It was amazing to see the kids sing to Jerms in English, Afrikaans, and Xhosa.
