It's great to be back in action!
As you might know, this is our 1st year ministering at the University of Western Cape.
Before I left for the Kenya conference, I started meeting with some people 1-to-1 and also started a few small groups. Coming back, I was quite curious to see what might have happened since I've left. Honestly speaking, I was thinking that I would almost have to start from scratch, but by God's grace some wonderful things have happened since I've been gone.
We started a Scripture Memory Learning community. Before I left, I suggested that we could meet on Tuesdays - just for half an hour over lunch - as a weekly checkpoint to make sure everyone stays on track. Unfortunately I had to leave for a conference in Kenya before the 1st meeting took place, so you can imagine that I was very curious as to know how this has been going. One of the guys, Phuti, could not make it last week, but he told me that Tutu called him to see how it went, and he had to 'stand-and-deliver' his 2 verses for the week right there over the phone. Claude - a French-speaker PhD student from Ivory Coast also joined us yesterday.
Imagine: she will be building her English vocabulary straight from the Bible!
The investigative Bible Discussion (IBD) group has been going strong since I've been gone, and from yesterday's feedback they have had lots of fun - even doing role plays & who knows what!
Lastly, I also bumped into 2 of the guys from the Friday morning IBD and had a great time reconnecting with them.
So far, it's been an incredible week and I'm so thankful to God for what He's been doing.
Thanks to everyone that keeps our ministry in their prayers!!
Keep rocking for the Rock of Ages!!!
