"Oh my back hurts. I'm going to sleep well tonight". Yup, it's begun. From tearing down a wall, to sanding and repurposing school desks, to laying concrete, it is time to get to work. Under the guidance of Master Allen, we toil and sweat until the task is complete. Oh how rewarding it is to see the finished work. Kids ask "Are you working?" You smile and respond "Yes, this is for you. That's why we're here."
We've taken a tour of the townships where our students live and feel humbled and blessed by the life that we have. We visited an orphanage to see where another local church is supporting the people of East London. From our tour and seeing first hand, we have a deeper connection with the children we serve. We see where they live and the challenges they face. We are one step closer to empathizing with what they go through on a day to day basis and we see the need to keep them in our prayers continually. There have been some lighter moments but the work has begun. Let's keep on working for the Lord!!!
We thank you for your prayers, please keep the group and the people of East London, South Africa in your prayers as well.
