Our Firm Baby Steps
Today we celebrated South African Youth Day. Commemorating the struggles and triumphs young people of South Africa experienced. On that day they sang songs of redemption from the iron fist of the apartheid regime. They believed that freedom was coming. Song played such a great role in pushing them forward and carrying baldness as they marched against persecution.
I was reminded of some struggles which compared to the one I shared above is so mini yet has potential to discourage us from the work God has called us to.
When there are victories to be shared, who wants to dwell on the opposing force?
We have quite a list of what we are thankful for. We prayed and longed for local involved.
Here is a list of some successes.
- The Worship Band is forming slowly but surely.
- YWAM Jeffreys Bay has been so helpful in sending us volunteers from Los Angeles, Amsterdam and Sydney. Our partnership is strengthening too.
- For the first time we got a donation solely mandated towards Admin! What a huge relief. We have in the past carried our ministry from our pockets. A loving couple came to our rescue and are willing to send more support after they see our report of how we are going to use this donated fund.
- We met a lady who is so keen on championing some Corporate Social Responsibility gurus around the region for us.
- We are sending our first successful student to Global Leadership Academy next year. We are beyond excited. We have tears of joy!
- Two of our young members are tired of us not having enough space to do what we do and decided they will commence a fundraiser towards the purchase of a better place. Together with one of the girl’s Mom they started baking and cooking goodies for sell.
Who are we that He is mindful of us?
