Best place to be.

Would you believe me if I said that as I was standing there looking over the Transkei, I believe that God was skipping through the mountains and the wind.
 
The 9'th of February we got into busses heading for the Transkei. We lived at a little place called Canzibe, It was an experience I'll never forget . The people don't have much in the Transkei, but the view they have makes them rich .We spent time doing a lot of children's ministry , painting , door to door ministry, hospital visits and being part of a xhosa church.It is amazing to see how different we are from each other, but in our own unique ways we celebrate the same living God. 
God is changing the team's whole mindset on what love actually is and how to portray it to other people . In small acts we can show it, like playing soccer with the village kids and leaving them with prayer, learning Siyakudumisa( we praise you) and singing it in the choir of the xhosa church. The smile on the people's faces as they closed their eyes praising the same God I'm singing for was definitely one of my favourite moments so far. 
We then travelled from Canzibe to Jeffreys on a Luke 10 journey . God really blessed us with a lot of people who picked us up along the way and everyone we spoke to was eager to ask questions about Jesus and it was amazing to get a chance to minister. I think for them it was so important to be reminded by the fact that Jesus is always with them and He has never left them and never will. I was shocked by the fact that we were always blessed by the people that had almost nothing. This journey of faith really opened my eyes to what it really  means to have nothing and trust God for everything, to literally sit at God's feet and wait for the next step.
And for me I think it's the best place to be .
