South Africa Update Number 2

From the pictures:
Top picture is of part of the team working on one of the many wells in Africa that are broken, thus not allowing the villages to draw water. Many times they have to walk a great distance to get water, and carry the heavy container back to their dwelling. We pulled one out to see how it worked and determined what needed to be repaired.

Young lady holding the baby-Mbali, 20 year old girl, accepted Christ last year, who lost both parents now she is taking care of her baby sister and other siblings. We prayed with her; she is staying strong even through hardships.

Today we went to a preschool ages 2-5. We met the Queen of Tembe there (Queen Precious). She showed us aroun the school and shared with us their needs. We were overwhelmelmed with how much we take for granted. Their blankets to nap were ragged, their toys amounted to broken toys in a box. They have 1 teacher for all the kids - 30 of them. They have the equivalent of around $90 a month to pay a cook for lunch, all the food for meals and supplies. The kids loved singing and coloring with us - it was much fun and what blessing to watch them - they even sang "Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes" in English. When we were here the kids at the elementary school next door all ran to the fence, there were clearly over a 100 kids glued to fence looking over at us. Lowell and Billy went over and shared the evangacube and story of salvation and many kids came to Christ.

Then on to do some work and try to fix a water pump.

We had planned to show the Jesus Film in Zulu out in a village that night, but the projector would not work. Jesus had another plan. We worshipped together and Lowell shared a message of salvation. People were coming by truck loads and out of the bushes. Some walked 4-5 miles for this. There were about 400 people in the middle of this field to hear about Jesus. Around 75 people came forward to received Christ.

Oh, and from the other church service - at one point in the service, Craig felt God wanted to heal somone's right foot and we prayed over that for the women who raised their hands. We went and layed hands on them. We found out tonight a women said that after the prayer she had no pain. She has been healed! She was a Zulu women that has been telling all in her village what Jesus did for her that night. Praise God!
