...from India to South Africa...

...from India to South Africa...

An amazing year it was. Before returning back home, we visiting our last country to realize again the great impact one can make by just giving it all - in INDIA.


We traveled into India with the great prospect to serve and love greatly… but instead we were loved just as much and even more. We found ourselves in Kota at Immanuel orphanage; working during the early morning hours & using the afternoons and evenings to spend with the children. We were teaching them about the Bible and the stories of Jesus, by means of dramas.

In Kota working... (We had the blessing of parents visiting us)


We had times of praying, singing, sharing stories, fellowshipping, playing games & bringing the Gospel. For these children are being taught to be so dedicated to the Lord, that they pray together each morning at 5h30. They also give greatest respect you’ll ever find.

 

Some of the Children


The Children are so hungry for love that would easily open up to their deepest hurt, just telling their stories. We all grew deeply in love with these children that we left India very difficult; with great compassion & thankfulness.

 

To have been part of their lives, to receive much more back than we would ever be able to give. Their love, respect! Please pray for the kids at the orphanage.


We arrived back in South Africa the 6th of November to get together at Jeffreysbay to reflex back on the year and to adapt to the country… I just realized how privilege I am living here, a clean country with wide open spaces with beautiful sceneries and people that care – family and friends.

North-bound back in South Africa

We used the time in Jeffrey’s to report back, looking back upon the year with God’s provision. We shared our stories and testimonies; spending time with the group that we now call family in Christ (for the last time all together). The Lord came to work in each one of our lives uniquely, having memories that would last forever with the LOVE and GRACE of our God. Thanking Him for His guidance and blessings this year.

 

Greatly thanks for everyone for your love, support and your prayers.


OF the most important things I’ve learnt this year is to love and trust more. Not only in God but the ones He placed in our midst. By only bringing all that you are (your pain & gains, your hurts & joys). By this we could have grown in unity, love and respect towards each other.

Our Blue Team...

 

And also that one should be thankful for what the Lord provides and to be able to give anything away that may be important to you for the gain of someone else. For their physical, emotional and most important spiritual growth!!

Please pray for everyone’s future plans and their Godly visions.
